This sculptural necklace is inspired by the geometry of truncated polyhedral - flattened “bucky balls” arranged in a gently curved crescent formation. It is available in sterling silver, gold-plated brass and bronze. Each pendant is composed of interlocking polygonal cells that resemble a cluster of tessellated fullerenes, translated into a refined, wearable surface. The open lattice structure creates a delicate interplay of light and shadow, allowing the skin or clothing beneath to become part of the composition.

Suspended from plain satin cords, the pieces balance mathematical clarity with contemporary elegance. Despite their complex geometry, the pendants feel light and minimal, offering an organic curvature that sits gracefully across the collarbone.
