Byzantium Nine-Stone Necklace - Fossilised Wood

This variation of the Byzantium Nine-Stone Necklace is defined by contrast, texture, and material dialogue. Alongside richly coloured gemstones, the necklace incorporates a rare fossilised wood element, introducing an unexpected organic presence that speaks to time, transformation, and material history.
Nine carefully selected elements are set in individually hand-built sterling silver settings, each chosen for its unique character. Smooth, faceted, geometric, and freeform stones are arranged in a considered sequence, creating a rhythm that feels both contemporary and rooted in ancient ornament.
The inclusion of fossilised wood at the beginning of the composition anchors the necklace conceptually, balancing vibrant gemstones with a quiet, earthy depth. The result is a statement piece that feels architectural, thoughtful, and quietly powerful rather than ornate.
