Nautilus. Silver necklace with Orbicular Jasper

This spectacular necklace is a unique piece. It is part of the Trésor Minéral collection.

This necklace is made of solid silver 950/1000. The motif is 3 cm high and 10 cm wide with a fancy chain. The total weight of the jewel is 29 gr 50 (without the stone) and decorated with a Jasper orbicular round diameter 4,5 cm. This designer jewel was hand forged by the Galadrielle workshop, a jewellery craftsman. To create this original creation, the jeweller first made sketches and drawings before assembling silver plates and wires that were cut and then soldered together. To make the jewel precious and shiny, it was completely polished by hand.

Due to the different light and screen settings, the colour of the stone may differ slightly from the images.
