Have a question? Or an idea for customising this piece?
18 Albion Mews Necklace: Lapis Lazuli & Sterling Silver by Independent Jeweller Estelle Deve
A curved, donut pendant inset with lapis lazuli, this piece is inspired by the godmother of modern ceramics, Lucie Rie. Whether adoring functional pots and tableware with delicate sgraffito decoration or experimenting with colour through glaze, Rie managed to negotiate the dualities of function and beauty. Referencing a ceramic button crafted by the artist, 18 Albion Mews offers a refined statement on creative balance.
The 18 Albion Mews pendant is thoughtfully crafted in sterling silver 925, inset with lapis lazuli. The pendant, measuring 15mm in diameter and 6.5 mm thick, with a lapis insert measuring 8mm by 5mm, is elegantly balanced upon a 50cm long and 1mm thick box chain. Please note, all stones are natural gemstones and will present variations in colour and pattern.
Key Features:
- Inspiration. Drawing from Lucie Rie's ceramic art, the necklace's curved, donut pendant with a lapis lazuli inset pays homage to her ability to blend functional art with aesthetic appeal.
- Craftsmanship. Thoughtfully crafted in sterling silver 925, the pendant showcases the meticulous attention to detail and quality that Estelle Deve is known for.
- Design. The pendant measures 15mm in diameter and 6.5mm in thickness, with an 8mm by 5mm lapis lazuli inset, offering a balanced and refined aesthetic.
- Chain. Elegantly presented on a 50cm long and 1mm thick box chain, ensuring the piece sits perfectly when worn.
- Natural Beauty. As all stones are natural gemstones, each piece offers unique variations in colour and pattern, adding to the individuality of the necklace.
