The Story
The necklace's plates carry a dense scrolling vine pattern, ringed by a beaded border and finished in a soft, matte-oxidized pewter tone. Scrollwork like this, built from tight spirals branching off a central stem, is a longstanding decorative device in Anatolian metalwork, where flat sheet metal is engraved or etched rather than cast, letting the pattern sit crisply on the surface instead of being molded into it.
Building a necklace from a run of separate stamped plates, each one etched individually and then joined by jump rings into a single flexible band, is a construction method suited to small workshop production: it lets one etched "master" motif be repeated across multiple plates while still allowing the finished piece to move and sit naturally at the neckline, the way a solid collar could not.
The piece is handcrafted in Turkey, a country with a long history of small-batch metal jewelry production, where etching, oxidizing, and hand-finishing techniques like these are still practiced in independent workshops alongside larger manufacturing.
Each plate starts as a flat sheet of pewter zinc alloy, stamped into its fan-like shape and pierced for the connecting jump rings. A worker then hand-etches the scroll and floral pattern into the surface, working the design in by hand rather than relying on a single cast mold, before the piece is given its oxidized, antiqued finish to bring out the etched lines. The finished plates are linked together with jump rings and fitted with a lobster clasp, a step done by hand to keep the necklace's drape even and its links secure.
