THE INSPIRATION
Ancient Spiral was inspired by the timeless patterns found throughout nature and the enduring connection between land and sea. The ammonite fossil at its center once traveled ancient oceans millions of years ago, preserving within its spiral form one of nature's most iconic symbols of evolution, continuity, and transformation.
Created within the Terra Collection, this necklace honors the extraordinary beauty of natural history.

Freshwater pearls soften the composition with coastal elegance, while hand-painted antique bone introduces a sense of artistry and human craftsmanship.
Together, these elements create a necklace that feels both ancient and contemporary—a wearable reminder of the beauty, mystery, and resilience found throughout the natural world.
