/sculptural black stone branch necklace/
A silver-tone statement necklace built around five polished black stone drops, sculptural branch forms and clear rhinestone accents.
The irregular metalwork twists across the front like exposed roots and thorned branches, gripping each dark stone and breaking up the symmetry of the necklace. Clear rhinestones punctuate the organic structure with small points of light.
The heavy link chain at the back keeps the piece grounded, while the black stones give the front a dark, almost talismanic aesthetic.

- Store separately in a soft pouch or dry space to minimise scratching and oxidation
- Gently wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear
