Kuwayama, a Japan­ese chain-making com­pany turned fine jew­elry man­u­fac­turer, has rein­vented the use of whisper-thin gold wire. Once woven into a del­i­cate wire mesh, the mate­r­ial has the flu­id­ity and trans­parency of silk chif­fon. This neck­lace, from their Chif­fon Gar­den Col­lec­tion, is made of multi-hued 18kt gold. All the flo­ral ele­ments are con­structed by hand and then applied. Japan­ese Akoya pearls appear as buds and enamel accents brings life to the whole.
