Modern, yet casually sophisticated, this John Iversen necklace possesses a quiet, restrained and earthy sophistication. Seven of his signature hydrangea flowers are meticulously hand-wrought in rich, 18K yellow gold and span the center section of the necklace. The largest flower is in the center and each one gradually becomes smaller as it reaches the outer portion. Stunning alone, but would also add an organically inspired element to any layered look.

total length : 18" : oxidized sterling silver
18K yellow gold pendant : 2 1/4" x 5/8"
fastens with sterling silver lobster claw clasp closure

NEW YORK - From his small studio in New York state, John Iversen meticulously fabricates organically inspired, wearable art. Crafted to perfection, his inspiration not only comes from specimens of the natural world, but also in the metals he uses. Each vein in his hydrangeas is finely worked; the edges of his distinctive leaf pins ripple as though they are actually dried; his chain links are subtly textured to reveal the quality of the silver.

"All of my jewelry is about the secret which lies hidden in the materials I use. It wants to be discovered."
