The Squibnocket Necklace

Beachy, but make it edgy. The Squibnocket is a shell choker with a rebellious streak: a strand of hand-strung shell beads in ivory and sand, a smooth peach shell set off-center, and a spiral whelk hanging from a sleek silver ring at the front, all found on Martha's Vineyard.

Then comes the fringe. Fine silver chains drop from the strand at different lengths, some straight and some looped, so the whole piece moves like sea spray every time you turn your head. It sits high on the neck, right where the shells and silver can frame your collarbone.

Every shell is one of a kind, so the shapes and tones on yours will be entirely its own. Wear it with a bikini, a leather jacket, or both if you're brave.
