Xiphos Medallion Figaro Necklace Black Nacre

This necklace centers on the Xiphos—a motif inspired by the straight, double-edged swords of ancient Greece. The sterling silver sword acts as a cross-guard, dividing the medallion into four quadrants of Black Nacre. Harvested from the South Pacific, this organic material is chosen for its "orient"—a natural, iridescent luster that reveals flashes of green, purple, and charcoal against a deep black base. No two inlays are identical, giving each pendant a unique topographic signature.

The medallion is suspended from a heavy-gauge Figaro chain. This classic Italian design, characterized by its rhythmic pattern of three short links followed by one long link, is reimagined here with a substantial weight and thickness. The chain features an integrated utilitarian carabiner clip on one side, introducing an asymmetrical, industrial element that breaks the traditional silhouette.

The finish is highly polished, creating a sharp contrast between the liquid shine of the silver and the mysterious, dark depths of the shell. This is a statement piece that balances the elegance of heritage jewelry with a bold, mechanical edge.
