Silver Drop Pendant that illustrates elements of Mari's hand written design notes and drawings. The chain is adjustable to 16”.
This distinctive pendant forms part of the beautiful Decorative Concepts Collection where handwritten design notes and drawings are 'hidden' within the metal folds of each cluster. Reflecting Mari's creative journey from initial concept through to final design, each note and reference captures the exploration and creativity behind the making of this strikingly beautiful collection.
