Multi-strand5.2 cm pendant
The ARTIC necklace relies on a simple, highly graphic contrast: several fine cords joined in a multi-strand style, supporting a large silver-tone round pendant with a hammered look. Its slightly wavy surface catches the light irregularly, like a sheet of wind-polished ice, hence its name. The disc measures 5.2 cm: large enough to become the focal point of an outfit, without ever appearing heavy. The necklace sits close to the neck, with a length of 40 cm plus a 5 cm extension chain and a lobster clasp, making it easy to adjust the drop to suit the neckline. Two cord colors are available: black, for a bolder look, and grey, for a softer, more luminous version. Whether worn over a crew-neck sweater, an open shirt, or a black dress, the ARTIC immediately adds a touch of modern, minimalist character, suitable for both everyday wear and evenings out.

Cords and hammered metal
The charm of the multi-strand and hammered effect
The multi-strand design consists of layering several thin cords or chains that meet at the clasp. This construction adds volume to the necklace while remaining flexible: the cords spread slightly around the neck and follow your movement. On the ARTIC, the cords are made of leather and finished with metal ends connected to an extension chain.
The pendant features a silver-tone hammered finish: its surface is not perfectly flat, but slightly dented. This look, inherited from jewelry-making techniques where metal was worked with a hammer, creates multiple small facets that reflect light in every direction. The result is a lively piece of jewelry that sparkles softly with every movement.

The ARTIC design
The ARTIC is built around a unique shape: a slightly irregular disc, neither perfectly round nor completely flat, evoking a polished pebble or a fragment of ice floe. This pendant does not strive for geometric perfection; it is precisely its mastered imperfection that makes it feel so natural.
The multi-strand cords pass behind the disc, keeping it lying flat against the chest. In black, they draw a sharp line against pale skin or light-colored clothing; in grey, they blend into the metal for a tone-on-tone effect. Either way, the necklace stands on its own: no need to layer, it elegantly fills a neckline all by itself.
Wearing and caring for the ARTIC
1
Adjust the length: attach the lobster clasp to the extension chain link that gives the desired drop, between 40 and 45 cm.
2
Center the pendant: make sure the cords are lying flat and the disc rests in the middle of your neckline.
3
Pair with simplicity: crew neck, open neckline, or an open shirt—let the pendant be your only statement piece.
4
Store flat: after use, lay the necklace flat or store it in a pouch to prevent the cords from bending or tangling.
Good to know: the 40 cm length corresponds to a collar-length necklace; with the 5 cm extension, the pendant sits slightly lower, at the level of the upper sternum. This is an ideal length for round necklines and shallow V-necks.
Style tip: pair the black version with a white or ecru top for maximum contrast, and the grey version with neutral tones (beige, camel, heather grey) for a softer, more sophisticated look.

Frequently asked questions
What is the length of the ARTIC necklace?
The necklace measures 40 cm, plus a 5 cm extension chain. You can adjust the length between approximately 40 and 45 cm by hooking the lobster clasp onto any link of the extension chain. At 40 cm, the necklace sits quite close to the neck; by extending it, the pendant falls towards the upper sternum. This length is particularly suitable for round necklines, boat necks, and shallow V-necklines, where the disc remains clearly visible.
What is the size of the pendant?
The pendant measures 5.2 cm. This is a generous size, making the ARTIC a statement necklace: it draws the eye and is enough on its own to structure a simple outfit. Despite its size, the disc remains visually subtle thanks to its soft shape and hammered effect, which avoids the bulky look of a solid, smooth plate. It pairs just as well with a thin sweater as it does with a black dress or a white shirt left slightly open at the collar, from day to night.
What is the difference between the black and grey versions?
Only the color of the cords differs between the two versions; the silver hammered pendant and dimensions are identical. The black version creates a strong contrast with the light disc: it is the more graphic choice, very chic against light-colored clothing or fair skin. The grey version, which is brighter, plays on a harmonious tone-on-tone effect with the metal and offers a softer look that is easy to pair with neutral tones. Simply choose based on the dominant colors in your wardrobe.
What material is the necklace made of?
The necklace combines leather cords in a multi-strand design with a silver-tone pendant with a hammered finish. The cords are finished with metal end-caps connected to an extension chain and a lobster clasp. Like any fashion jewelry combining cords and metal, the ARTIC should be kept away from water, perfumes, and creams. Storing it flat or in a pouch, away from humidity, will help it retain its appearance and flexibility for a long time.
How do I care for the ARTIC necklace?
Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping. Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray before putting it on, never after. To clean, gently wipe the pendant with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding any abrasive products or harsh silver cleaners. The cords can simply be dusted with a dry cloth. Store the necklace flat, individually in a pouch or jewelry box compartment, to prevent scratches and ensure the cords do not become misshapen.
What outfit should I wear the ARTIC with?
The ARTIC is a versatile piece of jewelry. For everyday wear, it elevates a simple crew-neck sweater, a white t-shirt, or a Breton striped top. At the office, it adds a touch of personality to a shirt or a slightly open blouse. In the evening, it pairs perfectly with a little black dress or an open-neck top. Since the pendant is generous, let it speak for itself: avoid layering other necklaces and prefer discreet earrings for an elegant, balanced ensemble.
Is the ARTIC necklace a good gift idea?
Yes, it is an easy gift to give: its adjustable length fits most neck sizes, and its minimalist style appeals to a wide audience. It makes a great gift for a birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, or Christmas. Choose the black version for someone with an assertive style, and the grey version for someone who prefers softer tones. For a more complete gift, pair it with a bracelet or a lovely watch from our selection.
