The Story
This necklace is built from a technique rather than a fixed pattern: metal is worked cold under a hammer until its surface catches light unevenly, in small planes and dents rather than a smooth mirror finish. That hammered, hand-forged approach to jewelry making has deep roots in Turkey, home to some of the world's busiest metalworking districts, where sheet and wire metal are still shaped, joined, and finished largely by hand before reaching a wider market.
The spiral and open circle are simple, versatile forms rather than symbols tied to a single meaning, which is part of why artisans return to them again and again — they read as modern and sculptural while still showing the maker's hand in every uneven curve and hammer mark.
The darkened recesses inside the coils aren't printed or dyed on; they're the result of an oxidizing solution settling into the low points of the hammered texture, a finishing step that adds depth and contrast to the metalwork without disguising the handmade surface underneath.
A piece like this starts as lengths of metal wire and sheet, cut and annealed so they can be bent without cracking. The maker coils and curls each segment by hand into its spiral or circle shape, then works the surface with a texturing hammer, strike by strike, so no two links come out quite the same. The links are joined into a single connected line, an oxidizing solution is applied and wiped back so it settles into the recesses, and the finished necklace is polished by hand to bring up the highlights while leaving the darkened texture in place.

Questions & Answers
Is this necklace made of real silver?
No. It's crafted from a pewter zinc alloy with a silver-tone finish, and it's lead- and nickel-free.
How long is the necklace?
It measures 22.5 inches in length, with the sculptural link section about 1 inch wide.
Where is it made?
It's handmade in Turkey, where artisans hand-hammer and join each metal link.
Why do the circles look dark on the inside?
That's an applied oxidizing finish that settles into the hammered texture's low points, adding depth and contrast to the metalwork.
Will my necklace look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but not identical — because each link is hand-hammered, slight variations in texture and shape are part of its handcrafted character.
