Necklaces

The necklace is handmade by the Cape Town based design studio and jewelry brand Lorne founded by Gillian Lawrence.

Gillian states about the inspirations for her creations: “The aesthetic is rendered through the creative process of jewellery making, acknowledging freedom to form rather than expectancy of what the jewellery piece should look like. Freedom allows the creative subconscious of the artist to experiment with the materials until spontaneous form arises. Pure and authentic design makes Lorne an inspirational jewellery brand. Due to the transient nature of it's manufacturing process, each piece of jewellery is unique in it's story to form. Lorne challenges traditional jewellery making with modern subjectivity defined by unusual shapes and structures. Lorne's bold yet polished statements are synonymous with the brands essence. The brand respects individuality and recognizes this in those that choose to wear Lorne.”

The founder Katherine Pichulik says about her inspiration for this necklace: "Memory moon piece is a cast of a freshwater pearl. Pearls are the tears of the moon. This cast moon tear is a medal for your hardships and sadness. Each tear shed, cleanses a space for new joy, new knowledge and new beginnings. This is your celebration of the alchemy; from sadness to depth, resilience, trust and joy!"

The Eclipse Necklace is the result of the fruitful collaboration between design brand Caralarga and Taller Maya, both from Mexico.
