{"product_id":"elegant-baroque-pearl-necklace","title":"Elegant Baroque Pearl Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eHanging from an adjustable satin cord, this simply elegant design features a beautiful baroque pearl along with tiny faceted crystals cut from real gemstones. In shades of purple, pink, and grey, the crystals are attached to a sterling silver tassel overlaid with 14k gold. This necklace pairs beautifully with our simple Baroque Pearl Earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the pieces available to the WAR world through the Founder’s Corner are made by rescued or at-risk women who gifted me personally, but the story behind this necklace is different. This particular piece was made by a Thai woman we call “the grouchy one.” From day one, I’ve visited her store for inspiration and ideas because she has a knack for unusual pieces that wear well. No one likes to go there with me though because she’s a grouch! I’ve learned in life that grouchy people are unhappy people. It reminds me of watching Sesame Street with my kiddos long ago, and how we would talk about “The Grouch.” I decided this woman needed some “loving on.” After the experience of Covid-19, the first time I walked back into her shop she practically jumped up and hugged me. I had finally broken through the veneer! Covid-19 had intensified her loneliness and threatened her business. My guess is her other customers gave up on “the grouchy one.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear this necklace as a reminder that the grouchy people in our lives are desperately lonely and more in need of our attention than anyone. Mother Teresa once said, “There is a worse poverty than the lack of things… it’s the poverty of the soul called loneliness.” Indeed, our nation is a third-world country when it comes to loneliness. Love on those lonely people in your life. Deep within their heart is a desperate person crying for love, and just like each of us, they are gems, cut and shorn like the facets on these stones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Market","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47986290163796,"sku":"bfc1793080112984","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/4687\/7780\/files\/elegant-baroque-pearl-necklace_1.jpg?v=1793080118","url":"https:\/\/oliviadogwater.shop\/products\/elegant-baroque-pearl-necklace","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
