Freeform silver-tone plates cascade in graduated tiers across the neckline, each one anchored by a single round of turquoise-blue set inside a beaded bezel.

  • Material: Silver-plated brass
  • Stones: Turquoise-colored polymer clay
  • Color: Silver, turquoise
  • Length: 22 in with 2.5 in extender
  • Drop: 5.5 in
  • Closure: Lobster clasp
  • Origin: India

Large enough to carry a plain neckline on its own. The surface shifts as you move — every plate is shaped by hand, so light catches unevenly across the cascade rather than reading as a single flat panel.
Details
  • Cascading multi-tier bib design
  • Individually hand-forged freeform plates
  • Oxidized patina for contrast and depth
  • Bezel-set polymer clay beads
  • Adjustable lobster clasp with 2.5 in extender

Each plate is individually hand-shaped and finished, so form, patina and bead placement vary slightly from one piece to the next.

The Story

The bib silhouette here — graduated plates layered across the chest — draws from a long tradition in Indian metalwork, prized for how it moves and catches light. What sets this one apart is that each plate is shaped as its own freeform piece rather than pressed from a mold, so no two lie exactly alike within the cascade.

The darker recesses come from an oxidizing solution worked into the metal and then buffed back from the raised surfaces. The contrast pushes the hand-hammered texture forward and stops the finish from reading flat.

Cool turquoise against warm silver-tone metal is a familiar color pairing in South Asian jewelry — one saturated accent placed sparingly against a larger metal surface, sized to draw the eye without overwhelming the piece.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-forged, silver-plated brass metalwork

Store flat or hanging, away from other pieces to prevent scratching. Keep away from water, perfume and lotion so the plating and patina hold up.

Questions

Is this necklace made of solid silver?

No. The plates are brass, silver-plated and then finished with an oxidized patina for an aged, hand-worked look.

Are the turquoise beads genuine turquoise?

No. The beads are turquoise-colored polymer clay, chosen to sit alongside the silver-plated brass without the cost or fragility of natural stone.

How long is the necklace and is it adjustable?

It measures 22 in with a 5.5 in drop at the center, and a 2.5 in extender chain lets you adjust the fit and drop to your neckline.

Will the silver plating wear off over time?

Plating can wear with heavy use, so put the necklace on after perfume or lotion and store it away from moisture to help the finish last.

Why do the plates look slightly different from each other?

Each plate is individually cut and hand-shaped rather than pressed from a single mold, so small variations in shape and patina are expected.
