The Arche necklace is an asymmetrical design. A random yet fluid patterning of color interspersed with metallic detail that gradually transitions into the reverse–a dominant gold segment accented with color.
Working with Japanese glass seed beads in exceptionally small proportions, the designs in our Selene Collection highlight the fluidity in the nature of the materials and the precious quality of subtle details. Accented with 14k gold-filled beads, we created patterns and details that work beautifully in singular presentation or in layered combinations.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our San Francisco studio.
