Quiet Muse
This delicate, dual-strand necklace brings together nature’s softest elements: a silver-toned Tahitian cultured pearl glowing with gentle pink and orient overtone, a faceted strand of translucent Smokey quartz beads, and lustrous white freshwater seed pearls - each bead carefully chosen and hand-strung.
The centre pearl, 8-9mm in size, rests beside a woven ball of polished sterling silver - a sculptural, minimalist touch that anchors the design in modernity. One strand offers shimmer and translucence with faceted 2mm Smokey quartz. The other provides a soft counterpoint in glossy, sub-3mm white seed pearls. Together, they speak in harmony: quiet, textured, balanced.
All components, from clasp to findings, are solid 925 sterling silver. Strung on professional jewellery wire for durability and gentle drape, each strand is assembled by hand for lasting quality and grace.
Quiet Muse is refined yet relaxed - perfect for marking milestones with meaning. Whether it’s gifted for a graduation, birthday, or your own moment of quiet celebration, it’s a piece that doesn’t demand attention, but always draws it.
✧ Name inspiration ✧
Quiet Muse is inspired by the kind of creativity that comes softly — not with thunder, but with stillness. The kind of beauty that doesn’t chase the spotlight, yet lingers in memory.
The name Quiet Muse speaks to the inner voice, to the personal moments of reflection, growth, and grace. Whether worn to celebrate a new chapter or simply to feel connected to your own rhythm, it’s a piece that honours the power of gentleness - and the kind of elegance that never needs to raise its voice.

Something about pearls
A little bit more about Tahitian pearl, South Sea pearl, and Keshi from both bivalves (according to GIA)
Although commonly known as Tahitian Black Pearl, its body colour varies from silver to black to green to purple, with multiple coloured overtone which not seen in other pearls from the same oyster family. From Pinctada margaritifera (black-lipped pearl oyster), Tahitian pearls are cultivated primarily around the islands of French Polynesia (the most familiar of which is Tahiti), these saltwater cultured pearls usually range from white to black. Other colours include dark metallic greens and purples (sometimes called aubergine). The usual size is about 8 mm to 17 mm, although larger pearls exist in limited quantities. (GIA: These overtones and/or secondary hues may be green, pink, purple, or a combination of colours leading to such exotic and descriptive terms as “Peacock,” “Aubergine,” or “Pistachio.” On rare occasions, white, brown, and yellow primary bodycolours with a range of overtones may also be found.)
South Sea pearls have much softer but equally shiny body colours of white, cream, silver, or golden. Produced by Pinctada maxima mollusk, commonly referred to as the “South Sea pearl oyster,” is the largest of the Pinctada genus. It has 2 common forms: Silver-lipped and gold-lipped, producing the white body-coloured pearls and golden body-coloured pearls.
There are bead-cultured pearl and non-bead-cultured pearl, also known in the trade as Keshi (Japanese for “poppyseed”) Pearls from both of the Pinctada genus, formed without being intentionally nucleated in mollusks while undergoing pearl cultivation, resulting an accidental non-bead-cultured pearl. Although a by-product, Keshi is a wonder of nature in its own right, and is valuable and in demand.
