Key Curio Pendant – Silver, 24k Gold, Enamel & Abalone
This piece was inspired by the treasures you find in cabinets of curiosities, objects that spark the imagination and feel like they’re keeping a secret.
Handcrafted in sterling silver, the key and tiny hands were first carved in wax—a slow, meditative part of the process we love. The pendant is finished with 24k gold details using Keum-Boo, a traditional Korean gilding technique that gives the surface a soft, warm glow.
At the centre, the key rests on a slice of mother-of-pearl that shifts in the light. The articulated silver hands gently hold the piece, adding a playful, life-like feel.
It has the feel of a vintage treasure—something quietly waiting to be found, and once found, never let go.
-The oval pendant measures 16mm X 11mm
-The length of the necklace is 17 inches. The length of the chain can be changed on request.
