Comprised of six strands of pyrite cut and finished in what Bottega Veneta calls a scarabee finish (part of their “scarab” themed collection, which featured shimmery green, gold and purple finishes), this is a stunning piece but hair raisingly expensive for what it is, at USD $8300. BV recently changed their policy on jewellery, hiking prices and deciding not to put any of their collections on sale. Some pieces do ultimately make it to their outlets after a few seasons have passed, but as their jewellery is closely tied to Tomas Maier’s designs it will be interesting to see how long these somewhat perishable designs (in terms of fashion immediacy) can stay full-priced. Available online and at Bottega Veneta stores.
