Nazar Singular Edition Natural Oval Cut Chrome Diopside Silver Disc Pendant

A round of sterling silver worked to look like skin stretched taut over an embroidery hoop — the texture pulls towards the rim, creases and all — with oval-cut chrome diopsides scattered across the surface at no particular interval, the way seeds land when thrown rather than planted. The stones carry the deep, chromium-fed green that makes this gemstone so much richer than its reputation, and against the black rhodium plating they read as bright punctures in a dark hide. It's a large piece and a strange one, closer to a small drum from an unknown ceremony than to anything the word pendant usually describes, and entirely at home in a gallery.
It goes for people who don't need their art explained — the ones who take freedom as given, treat creativity as a bodily function, and are perfectly happy to be the only person in the room wearing something like this. If that describes you, it has been waiting.
