The Story
This necklace's row of domed, dot-textured discs draws on a metalworking vocabulary long associated with Turkey, where coin and disc forms have been worked into jewelry for generations. The dotted, granulated surface treatment on each disc echoes the hand-tooled and hammered textures used across Anatolian metalsmithing, where a plain sheet of metal is built up into a patterned, light-catching surface through repeated hand work rather than left smooth.
Graduated disc necklaces like this one sit in a lineage of adornment where size and rhythm do the talking: the discs step up gradually toward the center front, a construction choice that shows up again and again in regional metal jewelry, from coin necklaces to layered disc collars. The matte, oxidized finish darkens the recesses of the texture so the pattern reads clearly rather than disappearing into shine.
Rather than a single symbol or motif, the piece is a study in surface and repetition — the same small hand-applied texture multiplied across seven discs, each one slightly its own.
Pieces like this start as cast pewter zinc alloy discs, which are individually hand-textured to bring up the fine, granulated dot pattern before being oxidized to a matte, antiqued tone that settles into the recesses and highlights the raised texture. Each finished disc is then hand-linked in graduated order onto the chain, so the sizing and spacing across the necklace comes from someone working disc by disc rather than a single molded piece.
