With its sculptural curved shape and softly antique character, it offers a distinctive mixed-metal statement with warmth and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003egold and silver paisley necklace\u003c\/strong\u003e was originally handmade by Simone around 12 years ago. The same design was sold for a period through Simone's online store before this particular pendant quietly disappeared into her workshop stash. Rediscovered years later, it now reappears as part of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/from-the-archives\"\u003eFrom The Archives range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant combines two versions of the same decorative motif: a paisley shape cut by hand from sterling silver, layered with an intricate embossed paisley pattern across its surface. The result feels richly detailed without becoming overly formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patterned silver was created using a rolling mill, producing a softly integrated texture within the metal rather than a deeply etched surface. The pendant was then gently domed to give it more dimension and allow the light to move across the curved form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the pendant has been hand gilded with fine 24ct gold foil using keum-boo, a traditional Korean gilding technique where pure gold is fused directly onto silver. Simone originally learned this process while studying with a Korean jeweller, and the handmade nature of the technique remains visible in the softly uneven finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a flat, uniform gold surface, the gilding has a slightly patchy and timeworn appearance which gives the pendant warmth and an antique-like character. Combined with the detailed paisley patterning, it creates a piece that feels richly textured and quietly luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003emixed metal pendant necklace\u003c\/strong\u003e works beautifully with warm neutrals, black, denim and natural fabrics, adding a subtle focal point without overpowering an outfit. The sterling silver chain is adjustable from 45cm to 55cm for flexible everyday styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/paisley-sterling-silver-band-ring\"\u003ePaisley Silver Band Ring\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/paisley-dish-sterling-silver-drop-earrings\"\u003ePaisley Dish Drop Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e which use the same embossed paisley pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll love:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-applied 24ct gold keum-boo finish\u003c\/strong\u003e fused directly onto sterling silver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed embossed paisley pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e with rich vintage-inspired character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-cut paisley-shaped pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e with a softly curved sculptural form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm antique-style surface\u003c\/strong\u003e created by the naturally varied gilded finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive mixed metal jewellery design\u003c\/strong\u003e combining silver and pure gold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRediscovered archive piece\u003c\/strong\u003e originally created more than a decade ago.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable sterling silver chain\u003c\/strong\u003e for versatile wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/necklaces-pendants\"\u003ePendant Necklaces\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sterling-silver-necklaces\"\u003eSilver Necklaces\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gold-necklaces\"\u003eGold Necklaces\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-gold-mixed-metal-jewellery\"\u003eMixed Metal Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-jewellery\"\u003eSilver Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e.
