Necklaces pieces from the atelier are drawn for weight, clasp and finish first.

Look at the silhouette before the stone. A well-drawn form in pendants and chains will sit on the body without pinching. Antique wash, high polish and light plating each change how necklaces reads in daylight. Ask for a side view and a short film when you can.
