About the Item

Available in 14 karat recycled yellow gold. Dimensions: 8mm X 10mm Post back, butterfly clasp. Hand-made in Brooklyn, NY It’s only been a year or so since Brigid McNellis founded her jewelry line, MON PILAR. But where many newcomers struggle with establishing a cohesive aesthetic, her sensibility is already clearly defined — and always expressed in the warmth of gold. Drawing on the craft traditions of Spain and Italy, where she has studied and practiced fine jewelry making, the Brooklyn-based Chilean-American takes her design inspiration mainly from Byzantine jewels and Etruscan filigree wirework. “The boldness and decorative elements used in Byzantine jewelry and the symbolic status that was assigned to certain gemstones are really intriguing to me,” she says. “As for filigree, it’s a technique I learned in Florence and fell in love with immediately. It allows me to create large jewels that are light in weight, perfect when I want to go big on a jewelry design.” As richly detailed as her pieces are, with their use of filigree and granulation, they are not dainty, delivering a bold presence on the ear, neck or hand. The overall look is robust and substantial. In her Milano earrings, she has added an organic element to the textural mix: a swath of vintage anaconda skin she purchased from a leather merchant in Florence. The pieces also dangle a handful of multicolored pearls, a gem McNellis uses often in her designs — “both for its beauty and historical richness,” she says. “I like to make my jewelry ornate but not over-the-top. I’m attracted to details and to simple clean surfaces and lines. I have a restrained approach that allows the piece to look and feel modern.” SUSTAINABLITY In an effort to have an ethical supply chain we outsourcing our casting exclusively to companies that use ethically mined and recycled metals in their process. The use of recycled gold means that it has less environmental impact as it did not come from new mining efforts. Our diamonds come from sources that either recycle diamonds that are already in circulation or are certified sustainably mined. We place a high importance on utilizing all sustainable resources within our reach in hopes that we can leave a minimal footprint while creating beautiful high quality pieces that will be cherished and passed down through generations.
