Two open squares — one silver-finished, one filled with glossy black enamel — interlock off-center where the curved collar bars meet. The geometry sits tilted, so hard edges catch light against negative space.

Material: Silver-plated mixed metal alloy
Length: 21 in adjustable
Drop: 3 in
Origin: Türkiye
Detail: Black enamel inlay

The rigid bars hold the pendant forward on the neckline, keeping the shape crisp against the collarbone. Worn over a plain crew or turtleneck, the two squares become the whole visual event — one graphic idea, resolved.

Slight variations in finish and color are natural, since each piece is hand-finished.

The Story

The interlocking squares reference Bauhaus — the early 20th-century movement that stripped ornament down to essential geometric shapes and let form and proportion carry the visual weight. Two squares of different scale, set at an offset angle, turn a simple form into a study of balance and negative space.

The piece is worked in Türkiye, drawing on a metalworking tradition of precise soldering, wire shaping, and enamel inlay. Building the doubled square frames, joining them so they interlock rather than sit flush, and setting the enamel flush inside a recessed channel all call on close hand control.

The black enamel is the one strong contrast — a solid line tracing the border of the lower square against the bare silver of the upper one. It's a graphic choice rather than a symbolic one, used to sharpen the geometry.
