ShipShape Kinetic Paperclip Necklace Garnet — Oxidised Silver & Sliding Gemstone

ShipShape Kinetic Paperclip Necklace
Oxidised silver & Garnet
— Studio Edition —

A kinetic necklace featuring a deep red garnet gemstone that moves within a silver cage, inspired by the shifting motion of cargo at sea.

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

Rivets, a traditional shipbuilding technique, are used here as a structural and aesthetic element.
