Material and craftsmanship

The Blattgold necklace combines two openwork leaf shapes – one in silver, one in gold – into a small foliage that hangs loosely from the chain. Between the two leaves sits a diamond-shaped element with fine niello engraving: a small flower, drawn in dark lines, which are permanently and chemically-physically bonded to the silver. This niello technique is the same signature that also characterizes the cups and chalices of the Nielloa collection, transferred here in miniature form to a piece of jewelry. The gold-plated leaf contours create a warm contrast to the cool 925 sterling silver and make the leaf motif appear more three-dimensional.

Use and occasions

Light and supple, the necklace lies on the neck and complements simple outfits with a natural accent or elegantly completes festive looks. For a birthday, it is a gift for women who do not want to wear off-the-shelf jewelry, but a detail that sparks curiosity. For Christmas or as a spontaneous gesture, the floral leaf motif suits every season, but especially autumn, with which its warm gold-silver combination is visually related. As part of the Nielloa Blattgold collection, it can be combined with matching jewelry from the same line to create a harmonious set.

Care

Wipe the necklace dry with a soft jewelry cloth, and avoid contact with perfume, creams, and water as much as possible. The niello engraving will become more contrasting over time with gentle polishing, while the gold-plated leaf contours should only be treated carefully and without pressure.
