STONE & MATERIAL DETAILS+
The pendant features pink mother-of-pearl enamel on sterling silver with 18k gold plating throughout. The coral branch is rendered in sand-textured enamel combining lighter and darker blues. The crab's eyes are detailed in black enamel, while its claws are gold-plated and set with pavé white cubic zirconia. The chain is gold-plated sterling silver measuring 45cm.

Every Misis piece is made in Vicenza, one of Italy's historic centres of goldsmithing, and the brand takes its name from Mysis, the tiny shrimp that feeds the creatures of the sea. Each jewel is built on 925 sterling silver, plated in 18k gold or rhodium and finished with a protective e-coating that helps guard the colour and shine. The enamels are hand-painted by skilled artisans, so no two pieces are ever quite identical. Nickel-free and lead-free, to EU standards.

This necklace places a miniature seaside tableau where necklaces usually don't. The pink mother-of-pearl enamel crab, with black enamel eyes and gold-plated claws set with white cubic zirconia, seems caught mid-scuttle along a sand-textured coral branch in two shades of blue. It is a scene that resists being overlooked.

The coral branch is finished in Misis's signature sand-textured enamel, lending a tactile contrast to the smooth sheen of the crab's shell. The accompanying gold-plated starfish completes the motif with no particular hurry, as if it wandered in because it was curious.

Suspended from a 45cm gold-plated chain, this sterling silver pendant settles just right, neither demanding attention nor disappearing altogether. It is less about making an entrance and more about claiming its spot on the collarbone, much like its real-life counterpart would on a rock.

STYLING & VERSATILITY+
How to wear it: a pendant sits best against a plain, open neckline that gives it space, a crew neck, a shirt with the top buttons undone, a simple dress. Let it be the thing the eye goes to. Pairing: if you are wearing a statement pendant, keep earrings small and let the neck take the attention. Matching pieces from the same collection work well worn together, in moderation. Layering: its chain length sits at the collarbone, so it layers cleanly with a longer chain if you like more than one. When: easy enough for every day, finished enough for an evening.
CARE & LONGEVITY+
Caring for your Crab & Coral Statement Necklace
Your piece is built to last with a little care. Remove it before swimming, bathing, exercise, or applying perfume, lotion or cosmetics. Contact with water and chemicals is what dulls plating fastest.
Cleaning: wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. For a deeper clean, use a little mild soap in lukewarm water and a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry.
Storage: keep it in your Le.Paul pouch, separately from other jewellery, to prevent scratching.
Your 18k gold plating meets a high jewellery standard. To keep its warm tone, avoid prolonged water, chemicals and friction against hard surfaces.
