This exquisite handcrafted necklace features an elegant grape motif, combining organic botanical forms with lustrous pearls. The pendant showcases simplified grape leaves crafted from matte-finished sterling silver, each leaf displaying delicate veining that captures the natural beauty of vineyard foliage.
Using the traditional Korean Keum Boo technique, pure 24K gold foil has been carefully bonded to a select area of the silver, creating a striking contrast between the warm golden accents and cool silver tones. This ancient gilding method creates a permanent bond that highlights a specific leaf with a subtle, sophisticated shimmer.
The "grapes" are represented by a charming cluster of genuine Akoya pearls in varying colors and sizes, adding depth and visual interest to the design. The colorful pearls catch the light beautifully, creating a three-dimensional effect that brings the grape cluster to life.
This unique piece celebrates the timeless elegance of nature-inspired jewelry while showcasing exceptional metalworking craftsmanship. Perfect for those who appreciate artisan jewelry with both contemporary design and traditional techniques.
