Story & heritage
Bibi van der Velden launched her namesake Wearable Works of Art brand in 2006 after training as a sculptor, and this jewel shows how the house turns natural forms into compact, animated sculpture.
A South Sea baroque pearl hides a mythical mermaid's tail in this elegant pendant. The mermaid's tail, crafted in 18k white and rose gold, weaves in and out of the luminous, organic-looking pearl, with brown diamonds embellishing the tail's form. The pearl is set on an 18k white gold chain, whose links are crafted to evoke rise and fall of the ocean's waves, with round grey pearls of varying sizes set along the chain's length.
Materials & craft
The piece is grounded in South Sea baroque pearl, 18K white gold, 18K rose gold, brown diamonds, grey pearls, materials and construction details cited by the brand or the current retail listing.
How to choose & style
Let the motif lead: wear it as the single surreal note against crisp tailoring, or stack it with quieter gold pieces when you want the bestiary mood to feel collected rather than costume-like.
The strongest versions are the ones whose stones echo your wardrobe palette, because the sculptural silhouette already carries plenty of visual weight.
