A playful contradiction of structure and spontaneity.

The Freehand Lines Necklace  is a handcrafted leather statement necklace that counters structure against spontaneity. Each 22ct gold line is tooled entirely by hand directly, so no two necklaces are exactly alike. 

Crafted by Tania from premium leather, every line is hand-embossed in gold, using a blend of traditional bookbinding techniques and contemporary tooling methods. The cleanly measured cuts of the leather sit in deliberate contrast to the freehand crisscross of the gold lines - which gather, drift and culminate across the surface to graphic effect.

Lightweight and tactile, the piece flows fluidly around the neckline, revealing sudden glimmers of gold as the wearer moves. A discreet oxidised silver magnetic clasp ensures the necklace is effortless to wear, dressed up or down, and allows the sculptural form to remain uninterrupted.
