Kōshi (格子 Lattice) Pendant

This dramatic steel pendant is hand-pierced to create an intricate openwork pattern that balances strength with transparency. The negative spaces become as important as the metal itself, allowing light to pass through the composition and emphasizing its lace-like complexity. The surface is fused with gold-toned bronze and 22k gold powder, creating luminous patterns that glow against the darkened steel and highlight the texture of the metal. On either side are hand-formed steel wire spirals that function as both sculptural elements and innovative clasps, connecting the piece to a paperclip chain crafted from 18k gold PVD-coated stainless steel. The durable PVD finish provides the warmth and brilliance of gold while offering exceptional resistance to wear. Combining meticulous craftsmanship, architectural structure, and a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and open space, the piece transforms industrial steel into elegant and contemporary adornment.

Care Instructions

While the jewelry has been sealed for protection, it is possible (though unlikely) that steel can rust if exposed to moisture. Store the jewelry away from moisture and avoid submerging it in any liquids. Avoid contact with perfumes, sunscreens or lotions. Occasionally rub a small amount of light oil into the surface.
