Little H

Little H by artist Hisano Shepherd uses repurposed gems to create gemstone mosaics inside of cut pearls.

Based in Los Angeles, Little H is made by artist Hisano Shepherd, who specializes in petite and baroque pearls, and focuses on providing her own spin to pearl jewelry. “I wanted to create my own version using pearls and gemstones and create something that is totally out of the ordinary that has never been done before.”

Colored gemstones are set inside the pearls themselves, resulting in eye-catching pieces of jewelry.The process isn’t an easy one; “The pearl geode is very laborious, from slicing the pearl, cleaning the interior, polishing the interior and the rim, setting the findings and finally setting the stones.”
