Gerda Lynggaard for Monies Copenhagen Sculptural Collar Necklace
Description:
Elevate your collection with this striking, avant-garde collar necklace by Monies Copenhagen. A masterclass in organic contrast, this dramatic statement piece features an alternating row of hand-carved disc elements meticulously strung on a thick, premium black rolled leather cord.
The design beautifully showcases the brand’s signature interplay of light and natural textures. The mottled, leopard-patterned tortoiseshell discs are hand-carved from premium natural horn. These pieces display exceptional natural clarity, with the lighter amber-honey sections remaining completely translucent to let light filter through and spotlight the dark, organic swirled pigments within. This luminous quality is sharply juxtaposed against dense, earthy organic structures. The ivory-colored teeth are meticulously hand-carved from natural bovine bone, revealing their own unique biological fingerprint. They feature subtle, visible growth grain line striations alongside fine, porous speckling that emphasizes their completely raw, authentic origin.
This tactile, dimensional necklace sits beautifully against the collarbone, effortlessly framing the face with high-contrast, wearable art.
