Mercedes Salazar mother of pearl necklace

Mercedes Salazar is a jewelry designer from the country of Colombia. She is well-known and has several jewelry stores there but is harder to find in the US. This rarely worn, 15” necklace was purchased in Bogotá. It’s made from mother of pearl with a clasp and the signature heart pendant in sterling silver (will need periodic polishing). The inscription on the heart is “Angelito de mi guarda cuídame” (Guardian angel take care of me).
