Pearl Quearring Ornament Raffle Ticket

Handmade by Presley Oldham

The fashion world has been absolutely splattered with pearl necklaces lately. One of the most clutch looks from The InQueery’s deep dive into nacrephelia was a waist-coated Ben Platt at the Met Gala, a Presley Oldham strand slung over one shoulder. Oldham crafted this quearring from “scraps […] I cut away from his body to make the piece he wore fit better.” Ben Platt’s Scraps. Say that five times fast.

Later that year, Platt walked RuPaul’s runway in a classic pearl necklace coyly declaring, “it’s not my first.” Indeed.
