The Kumihimo Knot
Giulia received the aquamarine as a graduation gift, with the freedom to turn it into whatever she wished.
Made for Daria, Moscow, Russia.
The story
Persik loved to nap on the wooden board above the kitchen heater, by the window. He was smart, loving, and played with the whole family. When he was gone, Daria wanted to keep him close every day, in something small enough never to take off.

01
We arranged an insured courier to collect the fang from Daria.
02
Daria asked for something compact and easy to wear every day. The design started there.
03
Both the design and the setting were built around a fragile, organic material. Every step took extra care.
04
Our goldsmith in Florence treated the fang first, then set it by hand in 18K white gold.
05
Delivered with a white gold chain and a black cord, to wear long or close to the neck.
You captured the essence of it so well. Thank you, I’ll hold this pendant close to my heart.
Daria, Moscow
