18K Gold Plated Iris Segrinato Necklace

18K Gold Plated Iris Segrinato Necklace
A symphony of light and line, this pendant reimagines the Iris flower—a symbol of eloquence and hope across cultures—through the Italian art of segrainato, where hair-thin engravings transform metal into lace. Legend tells of a Renaissance artisan who traveled the Silk Road, learning that irises were called “messenger blooms” in the East for their petals’ resemblance to brushstrokes mid-flight. Capturing this duality, the pendant’s surface is etched with hundreds of parallel segrainato grooves, radiating like sunbeams from a central starburst. The Iris’s curved silhouette, plated in lustrous 18K gold, balances delicacy with determination, honoring the quiet strength it takes to speak truths or chase dreams.

Material: 18K gold-plated sterling silver with hand-engraved segrainato detailing
