Momi means pearl in Hawaiian, and this choker was built around one — a single Tahitian pearl, chosen for its depth and set at the centre of the herringbone braid so it rests at the notch of the throat. The braid itself is worked from vegetable-dyed leather in the color you choose, closed with two hand-forged 14K gold beads that catch light on either side of the pearl.

An heirloom piece for the woman who prefers one perfect thing over many. Best worn with something simple — a white shirt, or nothing else at all.
