This one-of-a-kind artisan necklace is a masterful fusion of ancient craftsmanship and modern refinement, featuring a handwoven foxtail chain in oxidized sterling silver with 20K gold accents, granulation, and a sculptural clasp.
The clasp is fully hand-fabricated and riveted with 20K gold pins, ensuring extreme durability while serving as a striking focal point. The closure features a bezel-set green garnet, adding depth and contrast to the rich patina of the blackened silver.
Each element in this piece reflects historical metalworking traditions:
🔹 Foxtail Chain: A technique originating from medieval and Renaissance Europe, known for its strength, flexibility, and intricate weaving.
🔹 Etruscan Gold Granulation: Inspired by ancient Italian goldsmithing (8th–3rd Century BCE), where fine gold beads were applied without visible solder.
🔹 Oxidized Silver & Gold Contrast: A nod to Japanese shakudō metalwork, where blackened metal meets high-karat gold for a dramatic, timeless aesthetic.
🔹 Riveted Clasp Construction: A technique influenced by Byzantine and Roman engineering, reinforcing the strength and longevity of the closure.
This piece is entirely hand-fabricated using traditional metalsmithing techniques—no casting, no shortcuts. A true collector’s item, blending ancient design philosophy with contemporary craftsmanship.
