Pearl torc
Curved mother-of-pearl stripes alternate with 18ct yellow gold jump rings to form a luminous and delicate torc. The mother-of-pearl is engraved and highlighted with golden ink, depicting the image of a fine chain and an open lobster clasp. This design intertwines the narratives of two iconic jewellery piece, pearl and chain necklaces.

COLLECTION
The pearl collection is characterised by the use of mother of pearl, which becomes the canvas for representing the essence of jewellery and their archetypal forms —such as a diamond cut gem or a chain necklace—or to capture the moment of their breaking or becoming unwearable. My aim is to make a comment on the personal relationship each person establishes with jewellery and to create a conversation about how preciousness can be held not in the materiality of the object but rather in the very relationship one has with it and the memories related to it, even in the case of an ordinary pearls necklace.
