Cinch Macro Diamond Necklace
The Cinch Macro Diamond Necklace introduces a point of tension within the Crushed Link form.
A sculptural macro link is cast in solid 18k gold and held together by a band of diamonds that wraps around the center of the form. This cinched detail compresses the link visually, emphasizing its curved structure.
Suspended from a fine 18k chain, the pendant moves freely, allowing the balance between structure and motion to shift with the body.
CRUSHED LINK - A STORY OF TRANSFORMATION
Crushed Link explores how a simple form can evolve through pressure and movement. Each piece begins with a traditional chain link that is bent, compressed, and reshaped into a more fluid structure.
The collection is built around two sculptural elements. The A Link forms an open, continuous curve reminiscent of an infinity loop, while the B Link appears more compact and grounded. Alternating between the two creates a rhythm that shifts naturally as the piece moves with the body.
Across bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings, these links reconnect in different scales and compositions, forming a system of pieces that share the same underlying language.
