    Chia necklace

    The artefact

    The necklace is made of silver and crystals, characterized by the presence of a chain inspired by an ancient pattern found in Pompeii. The hand-crafted chains grow in size and thickness until they connect to the bezel, that has a peculiar aspect due to the fusion of natural textile fibres during the process. The gems have an uneven cut so as to enhance the archaic and natural sense of the jewel, making the jewel much closer to what is usually referred to as contemporary design.
