Core Necklace

Core Necklace

Core Necklace is an exquisite piece of handcrafted jewelry that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of natural elements and artistic craftsmanship, recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category. This distinctive creation features a 2.5-carat natural Sri Lankan pink sapphire as its centerpiece, dramatically positioned between two silicon specimens sourced from the Swiss Alps, creating a compelling narrative of gemstone genesis. The necklace's design philosophy draws profound inspiration from the geological processes that form precious gems, with the pink sapphire symbolically emerging between the silicon specimens as if breaking through the earth's crust. The piece is meticulously crafted using 18-karat gold, incorporating unique melted-looking accents that complement the raw, organic aesthetic of the silicon specimens. The technical execution employs a sophisticated wax casting technique, ensuring the preservation of the design's intricate details while maintaining structural integrity. Measuring 4 centimeters in height, 3 centimeters in width, and 1 centimeter in thickness, the necklace features a detachable gold chain with an adjustable locking mechanism for versatile wearing options. This one-of-a-kind piece, completed in 2021, represents a significant achievement in contemporary jewelry design, effectively capturing the intersection of natural beauty and artistic vision while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and material authenticity.
