Solaluna necklace
Artist Bayot Heer describes this necklace as “an expression of joy.” With 17 years of experience working with gold and gemstones, Heer was recently inspired to learn the skill of hand-weaving chains, an intricate process that results in a delicately patterned chain that’s soft and supple, almost like fabric. Before weaving the 18K peach gold chain of the Solaluna, which also features an 18K yellow and peach gold enhancer forged and engraved with a ray pattern surrounding a 25mm green amethyst, Heer hand-wove chains of sterling silver. Now, each of Heer’s chains and enhancers are unique. The chains are available in sterling silver, or 18K yellow or peach gold in various lengths, while the enhancers are available in yellow and peach gold.
$1,000 to $7,000 (chain); $4,000 to $5,800 (enhancer)
