The Nizam Neckpiece
by St Erasmus

An unusual fusion of seemingly opposing elements attains edgy beauty in the hands of creator Pieter Erasmus. Combining traditional techniques with contemporary forms and materials, the Nizam neckpieces feature freshwater pearls, which are encased in a mesh of crocheted gold and silver zari. Offsetting the iridescence of pearls, large Swarovski crystals dazzle in a multitude of hues. This is a beautiful concoction of abstract shapes, modern textures and old-world charm of the Mughal era. To be cherished.
