An exploration of craftsmanship, contrast, and artistic beginnings. Origine brings together a hand-fabricated sterling silver pendant dating to 2010, luminous golden pearls, and antiqued silver chain in a composition that reflects the evolution of Monsieur Pamplemousse's creative practice.
At its center rests an oval sardonyx cabochon, revealing rich layers of chocolate brown, amber, and translucent warmth. The stone is set in sterling silver and suspended from an elongated, hand-textured bail, both created during the artist's early explorations in metalsmithing.
An antiqued silver-tone elongated-link chain provides a contemporary architectural contrast, while golden pearls, individually connected with gold-tone wire, introduce organic softness and warmth. A brushed gold-tone lobster clasp completes the mixed-metal composition.
Measuring approximately 21 inches, Origine is both a wearable statement and a personal chapter in the artist's creative journey.
