18 Albion Mews Necklace – Malachite & Gold Vermeil 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 18k gold vermeil, inset with malachite. The pendant, measuring 15mm in diameter and 6.5 mm thick, with a malachite insert measuring 8mm by 5mm, is elegantly balanced upon a 50cm long and 1mm thick box chain.
