This necklace reminds me of pea pods. The pearls are ones that formed on the wall of the ouster shell.

Art Nouveau Jewelry Exhibit at the MFA
Currently on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Designed by Charles Desrosiers sometime between 1898-1901. Note the light coming through the petals... it's translucent/backless enamel called plique à jour!
