SILINOS Choker

The construction consists of exactly two black leather strands, each measuring 6 mm in diameter. They sit closely and evenly side by side, creating a compact black line of approximately 12 mm. There is no braiding, twisting or decorative separation, allowing the structure to remain deliberate and precise.

At the centre, the approximately 70 × 50 mm statement element introduces a softer, more organic language. Its outline is intentionally irregular rather than perfectly circular or geometric. Sitting flat against the skin, it creates a strong focal point and gives SILINOS its sculptural character.

The red quartz measures approximately 45 × 35 mm and forms the dominant focal point of the SILINOS Choker. Cut as a smooth cabochon, its softly rounded surface gives the intense red colour depth and clarity. A fine setting of sterling silver with 24k gold plating traces its organic outline.

The red quartz rests on a considerably larger piece of grey-brown agate. Its restrained grey, brown and natural tones provide a calm transition towards the black leather while making the red quartz appear even more vivid. At the same time, the agate's irregular outline gives the piece its natural and individual character.

All golden details are crafted from sterling silver and finished with a substantial 3-micron layer of 24k gold. This includes both the fine setting surrounding the red quartz and the small connecting element positioned along the leather strands. The latter remains intentionally visible, adding a precise golden accent to the otherwise graphic silhouette.

“With SILINOS, I wanted to balance the intensity of the red quartz with quieter materials. The grey-brown agate and black leather give it depth, while the golden details bring light into the composition.”

SILINOS works particularly well with open necklines, strapless silhouettes or a softly opened shirt or blouse. Black, ivory, camel and warm neutral tones echo the palette of the leather and agate, while burgundy or deep red can create a deliberate dialogue with the central quartz.

Because the SILINOS Choker sits directly at the neck, the large central element remains the natural focus. Fine earrings or slender rings make understated companions, while the choker has enough scale and character to be worn entirely on its own.

For SILINOS, proportion and fit are as important as the selected materials. The two 6 mm leather strands are kept compact and parallel so that the choker sits closely and flat against the neck. At the same time, the large agate element is positioned centrally, allowing its organic outline to remain fully visible.

The golden components are crafted from sterling silver and finished with a 3-micron layer of 24k gold. This substantial gold plating enhances the warm nuances of the agate while creating a precise frame for the vivid red quartz.

Care: Keep the leather away from water, perfume, creams and excessive heat whenever possible. Gently clean the quartz, agate and gold-plated elements with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, hard impact and prolonged exposure to moisture.

As each piece is created as a one-of-a-kind, we can adjust length, proportions and details to your preferences.
