Pearl Purse

This purse is the first creation in a documented series where you get to choose a pearl and suggest a design. Handmade over the course of 14+ hours across 5 days from solid stainless steel and a large silver-toned Keshi pearl. There were a mix of requests for cross body, shoulder, wrist and clasp straps so this purse comes with two options - a 50cm shoulder strap and a 12cm clasp strap. Straps can be switched out by twisting open the the shackle clasps on the sides of the bag. Head over to the Bad Times social media pages to vote on the next piece!

The pearl on this piece is the most irregular in my collection. The size is relatively rare and you definitely won't find another of this shape. It even has a secondary pearl growing on the surface! It has pride of place in the design, not just as an embellishment but forming part of the closure.

The purse is approximately 10cm by 19cm at its fullest extension, with an opening of approximately 9cm. The purse is modelled using an iPhone 11 with a slimline silicone case. This product is decorative; it is not intended to be a protective case for a mobile phone, nor is it intended to face impact or be put under stress. Pearls are fragile stones and the placement of the pearl on this purse requires it to be handled with extra care.

As this purse is handmade there may be slight variations in appearance. Every effort is made to ensure the pictures are representative of the items, however lighting and screen quality may distort the appearance of the pieces. As pearls are natural stones, there may be slight indentations, cavities and/or differences in colour on some stones. The exact style of components used in this design may vary based on stock availability.
