The flameback is a small angelfish of the Atlantic reefs, deep blue, with a streak of bright orange running along its back like a flame.

The necklace is a lariat, with no clasp. The chain passes through a hollow gold nugget at the front and falls straight down from there, so you set the length each time you put it on, high at the throat or long and low. At the end of the chain hangs a slim drop of gold, 4.6 by 23 mm, shaped like a flame, with a 0.01 carat diamond set near its tip. Both the nugget and the drop are brushed, soft and matte.

The chain is 65 cm, in the same gold. The same way of wearing a lariat runs through the Green Flame Lariat Necklace, which ends in a tourmaline and a keshi pearl.

One necklace is finished and in the studio now, in 14K yellow gold. Every other gold is made to order.

It is made as a set with the Flameback Drop Earrings.
