Though at first glance, this looks like hammered sterling silver, it is actually silver leather worked into the form of a collar (or the head of an animal, which it also resembles).

Made by Fabien Ifires, it retails for £420. Dimensions are drop 21cm, width 14cm, pendent width 12cm, pendent length 9cm. It is available from Valery Demure, whose site features an “online shop … a curated space where Valery presents a unique grouping of rare, modern and vintage pieces, available for shipping internationally. Demure prides herself on discovering the best jewellery and wearable art, informed by her experience in the field of bijoux and accessories.”

Lots of very intriguing and wearable yet artistic items; well worth a lengthy browse.
