The Story
This necklace's overlapping squares owe their sensibility to Bauhaus design — the early 20th-century movement that stripped ornament down to essential geometric shapes and let form and balance carry the visual weight. Here, two squares of different scale and finish are set at an offset angle so they lock together like a puzzle, turning a simple shape into a small study of proportion and negative space.
That modernist vocabulary is realized through Turkish metalworking, a craft tradition long known for precise soldering, wirework, and metal shaping built up over generations of workshop practice. Turning flat sheet and wire into the crisp, doubled edges of this pendant, and finishing them with a smooth silver plate, calls on the same close hand control that Turkish metalsmiths bring to more traditional forms.
The black enamel inlay is the piece's one strong contrast, tracing the border of the lower square in solid color against the bare silver of the upper one. It's a detail choice rather than a symbolic one — enamel work has a long history in Turkish jewelry making, and here it's used simply to sharpen the geometry and give the design its graphic punch.
A piece like this starts as flat metal stock and wire, cut and shaped into the two square frames before they're joined at an angle so they interlock rather than sit flush. The curved collar bars are formed separately and soldered to the pendant assembly, then the whole piece is silver-plated for an even, reflective finish. Enamel is applied by hand into the recessed channel of one square and cured, then the surface is cleaned and polished so the color sits flush with the metal edge — small tolerances that determine whether the geometry reads as crisp or sloppy.
