In the stillness of a hidden garden pond, a single koi glides through sunlit ripples — a living jewel, a keeper of ancient symbolism, and now the heart of this extraordinary statement necklace.
The koi is brought to life in brilliant translucent enamels layered over textured fine silver, each scale alive with flashes of orange, plum, and gold. Its movement is echoed in the hand-textured sterling silver setting, which captures the gentle ripple of water surrounding it. Above, lily pads shimmer in plique-à-jour enamel, their green tones glowing like miniature stained glass, accompanied by a single lotus blossom in full bloom.
The necklace closes effortlessly at the front with a sterling silver toggle, and its 20"chain is a tactile treasure in itself with a harmonious mix of sterling links, luminous pearls, ancient fragments of Roman glass, and colorful gemstones.
In many cultures, koi ponds are symbols of peace, prosperity, and perseverance. The koi fish is celebrated for its strength in swimming against the current, a reminder of resilience, courage, and the beauty that comes from embracing one’s own path. The lotus and lily pads add their own layer of meaning, representing spiritual growth and harmony. Together, they create a wearable tableau of balance, transformation, and the poetry of nature.
More than a necklace, this is a piece of living art, crafted for the woman who moves through the world with quiet strength, luminous beauty, and a story worth telling.
