Built around black tourmaline, the piece begins with a dark, near-opaque stone with fine lengthwise striations along each bead. Beside it, the silver-tone metal is a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver, so the piece reads in two registers at once. It takes the form of a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and it belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines. The mountain motif takes the form of a ridgeline silhouette. High ground recurs throughout this studio’s design language, and the profile is used here as a way of holding a landscape in mind rather than as a claim about where the piece was made.
The piece mixes several materials, and each one has its own habits in wear. Black Tourmaline needs a separate note: it is hard and stable in wear, but a rougher, unpolished surface shows handling more readily than a polished one. Inside the piece, the silver-tone metal is a bright cool-toned metal finish, plated rather than solid silver. Handled often, the finish holds up well day to day, though a plated layer thins gradually where it rubs.
The fit is set from the measurement you supply, so nothing is assumed. The photographs and the written summary carry the same detail, so nothing about the selected piece is left to assumption. The theme here is courage as a daily cue; nothing about the piece is a promise of safety. Because these are natural materials, expect small differences in colour and pattern between the photo and your piece. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth; a deliberately raw surface should not be polished. Keep it away from water, perfume and abrasive cloths so the finish lasts longer. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
