The piece opens on the amethyst, a violet quartz, transparent to cloudy, with the even colour strongest in the centre of each bead. Beside it, the textile cord is a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface, so the piece reads in two registers at once. The proportions are kept to a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and the design belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. 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.
A short account of the materials, taken in the order they matter to the design. Amethyst is a different case in wear: it wears well day to day, though the colour fades under prolonged strong sunlight. Inside the piece, the textile cord is a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Handled often, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
The fit is set from the measurement you supply, so nothing is assumed. Tell us how you intend to wear it and we will point at the option that suits it. The contemplative theme is a wearer’s reminder; no effect is claimed for the material itself. 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
Store it out of direct sun and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. 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.
