About the Item

"Costis" Snail Shell Black Pearls Necklace with Watch-Like Clasp This necklace features an exquisite strand of black pearls and a 18K Yellow Gold special clasp which opens up as old pocket watches do: a button opens the cover of the clasp and the necklace is released. Costis is a true lover of intricate mechanisms and joints (only then, motion can be achieved) his pieces stand out for their impeccable workmanship, and he is known as the “hinge master”. The cover of the mechanism is hand engraved, ornamented with 0.07 carats of Diamonds on the rim, while the back is adorned with starfish imprints. Pearl Strand: 36pcs round black South Sea cultured pearls, slightly gradient, Dimensions: from 15.0 to 10.0 mm. Costis loves to observe nature; the sea, the flowers, the animals, the world we live in. These are the forms he re-creates through his jewelry, by enhancing the sculptural element in any object; by taking the ordinary and elevating it into the realm of extraordinary. Costis is intrigued by the challenge of elevating a simple, everyday item into a piece of art. The “Snail Shell” collection, inspired by the humble little snail, is transformed into an imposing piece of jewelry, an organic line that, although bold, it is so easy to wear and has become an absolute hit in the American market, following its European success. The snail is Costis’ favorite creature; its shell became a source of true inspiration.
