Mineral Mix Neckpiece - Ari Athans

A long strand of pearls and mineral beads moves through distinct sections of colour, translucence and texture, creating a richly varied composition from a collection of small-scale stones.

Handmade by Ari Athans in Brisbane, whose work explores unexpected combinations of material, colour and form.

The neckpiece brings together grey pearls, faceted agate, quartz, labradorite, sodalite, onyx and amazonite, arranged in individual sections rather than a repeating pattern. Each material introduces its own subtle shift in colour and surface, from opaque and softly lustrous to translucent and faceted, while the petite scale of the beads keeps the generous 84 cm strand refined and beautifully wearable. Finished with a handmade sterling silver clasp, it is a celebration of mineral variety and Ari’s distinctive eye for unexpected combinations.
