A Thing of Beauty

Tiny white beads, flawlessly round, not too large but nowhere near too small, each bead identical to the next yet unique in every way, each pearl tells a different story; they are not a clear white, but more of a subdued ivory with a tinge of pink, hard and smooth, unbreakable yet delicate, their texture and color changing with every touch and at every different angle. Light cascades down the the necklace, strung together in a halo of sparkling and reflecting beads, and bounces off from one pearl to the next with the elegance of a ballerina on a moonlight floor. Magnificent in its versatility, it can highlight the risque or add excitement to simplicity. It is not too long, but made to fit perfectly around the neck, caressing the edge of the shoulder bones, a circle of charm and sophistication around a smooth naked neck. The end is knotted with black ribbon into a bow creating an air of Victorian elegance. It stands as a vision of beauty in simplicity, a marriage of modern elegance and immortal style.
