Carolina Bucci is perhaps best known for her delicate cord bracelets and necklaces. For me, this chunky necklace is a bit of a departure but it still features a closure that requires the wearer to knot or tie it. Which is the main reason I always walked away from her bracelets – too afraid they would slip off.

About this piece, her site notes,”The Tribeca Downtown necklace — named after the New York neighbourhood — features 18 different spheres in a set colour combination, which are threaded on a Lurex cord with 18k White Gold tips.

Spheres include: 10 hematite and 6 snowflake obsidian spheres, carved from their namesake semi-precious stones; 1 Big Apple Red sphere, meticulously wrought in enamel; 1 Florentine Finish 18k White Gold sphere.

The Downtown necklace is designed to be worn as a kind of loose choker… up close to the wearer’s face, where the colours can reflect one’s individuality. We recommend tying a knot at each end of the spheres, making sure they are sitting snugly together, before securing your necklace with a tight double knot.

Additional Enamel and Florentine Finish spheres can be purchased individually to add to your necklace.”

This sells for £3,680.
