No. 59 – Celestial Harmony – 25" Necklace
A one-of-a-kind necklace of extraordinary chromatic intelligence — four distinct stone traditions brought together in a composition that feels both ancient and completely of the moment, unified by three Tibetan centrepiece beads of rare decorative beauty.
The strand moves through cobalt blue lapis disc heishi rounds, their flat, stacked form adding graphic rhythm and deep celestial colour. Deep emerald green jade rounds carry imperial weight and the cool stillness of old growth forest. Soft lavender amethyst rounds shift the palette into something more contemplative and feminine, and warm honey yellow jade or calcite rounds introduce a note of sunlight into the cooler tones. Small gold rondelle spacers and an ornate silver Om or script barrel bead thread through the composition with devotional detail.
The three statement beads are the piece’s defining glory: large Tibetan cloisonné enamel barrels in teal, cobalt and gold, each surface worked with concentric mandala eye motifs in the finest enamel inlay tradition. They appear at intervals along the strand like punctuation marks in a sacred text — bold, luminous, and completely captivating.
Photographed on a dark walnut tray beside scattered raw lapis lazuli chunks and green aventurine chips, beneath a Chinese calligraphic wooden panel — a setting that honours both the Eastern craft traditions this piece draws from so deeply.
Impression: Meditative, chromatic, and quietly magnificent. Celestial Harmony is for the woman who finds her centre in colour, craft, and the beauty of things made with genuine intention.
