Grey Seljuk Lace
Grey Seljuk Lace
Silver colour glass bugle beads, blue and dark blue small Swarovski crystals, magnetic clasp
2010

This choker is a refined, architectural necklace inspired by Seljuk geometric ornamentation and Islamic lattice traditions. Hand-woven from silver-coloured glass bugle beads, the piece forms a flat, lace-like surface composed of repeating hexagonal and star-based units, creating a delicate yet structurally precise mesh around the neck.

Small blue and dark-blue Swarovski crystals are carefully placed at nodal points within the geometry, punctuating the silvery lattice with subtle depth and rhythmic highlights. Their cool tones echo the clarity of stone, sky, and water, enhancing the crystalline quality of the overall form.

Despite its geometric rigour, the choker remains supple and comfortable, flexing gently with the body's movement. Finished with a discreet magnetic clasp, Grey Seljuk Lace balances lightness and structure, transforming historical pattern logic into a contemporary, wearable expression of order, continuity, and quiet elegance.
