The Story
This collar's pendant is built from the vocabulary of Art Deco design: hard-edged bars, a crossbar hinge, and a single oval set on axis. Art Deco emerged in the 1920s and '30s as a design movement across architecture, furniture, and jewelry, prizing symmetry, clean lines, and the tension between geometric structure and a single organic focal point — here, the stone.
The green jasper oval is the necklace's counterpoint to all that straight-edged brass and bone-toned bar work. Jasper is an opaque quartz valued for centuries in carving, seal-making, and ornament across many cultures precisely because its mottled, earthy coloring reads as calm and grounded next to polished metal or stark geometric lines.
Rather than reviving a specific regional craft lineage, this piece translates a historical design language — Art Deco's love of stacked bars, crossbars, and architectural symmetry — into a modern, wearable collar, letting the stone's natural variation soften the composition's rigor.
Making a piece like this starts with shaping brass wire into the collar's open, rigid arc, then cutting and finishing the bone-toned bars and brass crossbar that stack into the pendant. The green jasper is cut and polished into a smooth oval cabochon, then set so the crossbar pins it in place against the bars above. Each component is finished and assembled by hand in a U.S. studio, with the brass buffed to its warm, matte-gold surface and the clasp fitted with its branded charm.

Jasper is an opaque form of quartz, prized since antiquity for carving into seals, beads, and ornament because its clouded, earthy coloring takes a high polish while still looking organic. In folklore it's often called a stabilizing, grounding stone — a fitting foil here to the necklace's hard geometric lines, giving the eye a soft, mineral place to land.
Questions & Answers
Is this necklace adjustable?
The collar itself is a fixed rigid wire, but a 2" extender on the clasp gives you some flexibility in how it sits.
What is the pendant made of?
The pendant stacks two bone-toned bars and a polished brass crossbar over a smooth green jasper oval, all set on a brass wire collar.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the brass with a soft, dry cloth to keep its finish, and keep the jasper away from water, lotions, and perfume, which can dull the stone over time.
Will my necklace look exactly like the photo?
The brass and bone-toned bars will match closely, but since jasper is a natural stone, expect gentle variation in its color and veining from piece to piece.
Is this a good gift?
Yes — its architectural, Art Deco-inspired design makes it a considered gift for anyone drawn to modernist, geometric jewelry.
