“John, I am enamored with your lips…
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon tied upon an ivory tower,
Like a pomegranate split in two by an ivory blade.”
— Oscar Wilde, Salome
It is Salome's final, frozen soliloquy, translated into a wearable sculpture. It captures that climactic, chilling moment of reverence and possession—the awe of gazing upon the object of one's sublime obsession. We present a diptych for the collarbone: a declaration in ceramic, velvet, and titanium steel.
The piece comprises two distinct necklaces, designed for solitary statement or profound layering.
Material Allegory: Ceramic for the fragile permanence of the icon; Velvet for the opulent, suffocating embrace of desire; Titanium Steel for the sharp, unyielding truth of consequence.
The Hand's Testament: Each piece is individually hand-finished. Notably, the form of the titanium steel "droplets" will vary subtly—each rivulet, each coagulation is unique. This inherent variation is not a flaw, but a guarantee: your artifact is a one-of-a-kind rendering of this timeless story.
