Suspension Necklace No. 3 - Rift

Drawing inspiration from the volcanic landscapes of Iceland, this sculptural pendant captures the raw power of geological rupture within a refined architectural form. A gently arched sterling silver shield is divided by an asymmetric fissure inlaid with dark volcanic basalt sand, referencing tectonic boundaries and earth fractures. The surface finish creates a deliberate dialogue of textures: a brushed, satin-finished plane on one side balances a mirror-polished curved facet on the other, framing the mineral seam between two contrasting states of light. Designed with an integrated bail, the piece sits flush against the collarbone as an elemental artifact of volcanic earth and clean metal discipline.

The suspension series is an exploration of negative space with open structures that create the perception that the gemstone exists independently within the metal.

Hand-fabricated in sterling silver with Icelandic basalt sand.
