Golden shimmering this necklace radiates a special elegance. The lightness in relation to the sensual volume is surprising and gives the necklace a majestic charm. Gently shining like moonstone in a milky tone, the mellow shapes beguile and nestle around the neck.
With its opulent volume, the necklace is despite its lightness one of the largest among my designs.

The exclusive hand-dyed fabric was specially produced for Parisian Haute Couture and gives the jewelry its ethereal character. The production is extremely expensive, and its price exceeds that of gold. Using this precious and noble fabric, the technique developed by debe achieves its highest form: A touch of nothing.
