Description:
This necklace is created based on a traditional jewelry design approach, featuring natural tourmaline stones set into a silver structure with a balanced and symmetrical arrangement. The stone placement follows a classical compositional order commonly seen in traditional necklaces, emphasizing harmony and continuity.
The silver craftsmanship consists of a cast base structure refined with engraved and relief decorative detailing. Curvilinear and vegetal-inspired motifs surround the stone settings, serving both decorative and functional purposes by securing the stones while enhancing surface depth. The silver surface is finished with a restrained polish, consistent with traditional jewelry aesthetics.
