Bryozoans are among the smallest animals in the sea, each one less than a millimeter across, living together in colonies on rocks and seaweed. You would pass a whole colony without seeing a single one of them.

The necklace is one small hollow nugget of gold, about 8 by 6 mm, threaded on a fine chain so it seems to float at the base of the neck. It is brushed so the surface stays soft and matte, with a single 0.01 carat diamond set into it.

At 42 cm it sits close, simple enough to wear every day and to layer with longer chains, including the Basket Star and the Anemone.

Every necklace is made to order.

The same small nugget comes as the Requiem studs.

Part of Deep Blue, a collection built from what the sea leaves behind. Solid gold, textured rather than polished, hollow where the shell would be hollow, made by hand in our Jerusalem studio.
