ShipShape Kinetic Paperclip Necklace Garnet — Oxidised Silver & Sliding Gemstone
Design Inspiration
Part of the ShipShape Kinetic series, this necklace explores the dynamic relationship between engineered structures and the unpredictable movement of the ocean. The sliding gemstone element reflects the motion of cargo containers or barrels as ships navigate powerful waves.
Materials & Craftsmanship
• Oxidised Sterling silver
• Garnet gemstone
• Riveted cage construction
• Hand-fabricated Chain
Rivets, a traditional shipbuilding technique, are used here as a structural and aesthetic element.
Wear & Styling
As the wearer moves, the gemstone slides gently within its frame, producing a subtle motion and soft sound. This tactile quality makes the piece particularly appealing to those who enjoy jewellery that can be interacted with.
