GILDED is a study in light, texture and beautiful excess. Iridescent shell pieces cascade around the neckline, catching flashes of pearl, champagne, blush and soft opal as they move. Between them, sculptural gold-toned drops tipped with freshwater pearls create a dramatic fringe that feels part jewellery, part found treasure.
Tiny translucent glass birds appear unexpectedly among the shell, adding an almost talismanic quality to the piece. Antique-gold beads and architectural ribbed accents continue toward the neckline, while subtle lavender-and-gold cord detailing and an ornamental hook closure give the back of the necklace as much character as the front.
The result feels as though it could have been unearthed from an old jewellery box somewhere between Venice, Marrakech and the Mediterranean — opulent, imperfect and impossible to reproduce exactly.
GILDED isn't meant to quietly finish an outfit. It is the outfit.

Natural shell and freshwater pearls are inherently individual. Variations in shape, surface, lustre and colour are not imperfections, but part of what makes each GILDED necklace distinctly its own.
