Inconsolable Necklace - Erica Bello

Erica Bello lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island (US).
Crafted with precision, Erica merges architectural forms and traditional jewellery silhouettes to create modern heirlooms.
Influenced by icons of value and strength, Erica’s work communicates an interest in the reinterpretation of powerful imagery. Forms rise from reoccurring motifs in culture and recede into minimal silhouetted structures. Through the use of traditional and contemporary metal smithing techniques graphic imagery is translated into wearable objects. The nature of each piece is amplified through the use of monochromatic industrial finishes.

This necklace features a strand of teardrop pearls dripping from a blue eyes lapis clasp. Inspired by mourning jewelry of the 1800’s, the Inconsolable Necklace allows you to embrace your emotions and adorn yourself with tears.

The oxidised silver will naturally polish with regular wear and eventually achieve a beautiful antique finish.

Oxidised sterling silver, freshwater pearls and lapis lazuli .

Charm length is 34mm, but hangs 60mm including clasp attachment.

The necklace is 42cm in length and the eye pendant/clasp is 17mm by 12mm
