Angular panels of silver-tone metal, folded and creased like crushed foil, link into an asymmetrical bib. Polished planes catch the light while the shadowed valleys hold the folds.

Material: Pewter zinc alloy
Color: Silver-tone
Length: 20 in
Drop: 4 in
Closure: Lobster clasp
Origin: Türkiye

The composition graduates from small rectangular links at the chain to a broad, off-center panel at the drop, sitting just below the collarbone. There is real weight to the cast panels, but the piece reads as one sculptural object rather than a chain of parts.

Each panel is individually cast and hand-finished, so the exact fold pattern, texture, and sheen will vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Story

A sheet of paper crumpled in a fist, cast solid in metal. The visual pun is the whole idea — a temporary form made permanent, worn as adornment.

Pewter zinc alloy is poured into rough panel shapes, then a metalworker folds, hammers, and creases each one by hand. Because the folding is freehand rather than stamped, no two panels come out identical.

Raised edges are filed and polished to catch light while the creases stay duller, so the eye reads texture rather than metal. Türkiye's base-metal casting workshops carry the infrastructure and hand-finishing skill this kind of work depends on.
