Double-Sided Slider Necklace

46 cm chain, 0.75 x 1.5 x 1 cm pendant

sterling silver, freshwater pearls

This hand-fabricated necklace is elegant & simple, the perfect touch for a night out, or for everyday wear. The two-sided pendant allows it to be worn in multiple ways.

Care Instructions: use a very soft toothbrush with a paste made of baking soda and water and gently brush tarnished areas. A jeweller's cloth may also be used but avoid the area around the pearl. Store separately as pearls are a soft material and can easily scratch.

Edna Ida (Diena) Milevsky is inspired by forms, patterns and textures found in nature, particularly the ocean and beach, where she spent much of her time with her husband and four daughters. She is a fellow of the Canadian Gemmological Association (2019) and a graduate of both the George Brown College Jewelry Arts & Gemmology programs, emerging from both with honours. In 2019 she was granted an internship at the prestigious ForeverMark Design and Innovation Centre in Milan, Italy, where she also has deep family roots. That internship was a high-profile award for being the Canadian first runner-up winner at the DeBeers Shining Light Design Initiative in Gaborone, Botswana.

In addition to her inspirational visit to the diamond mines of Africa in late 2019, she has been to Australia, China, Japan, as well as many of the jewellery centres of South America and Europe.
