About Marilyn Schmuckset

Marilyn ist ein Schmuckset aus recyceltem, ungalvanisiertem 925er Silber. Das Set besteht aus einer Halskette, einem Armband und Ohrringen. Die fließenden Formen bringen Locken und den Wind am Strand zum Ausdruck. Jedes Stück wird im Wachsausschmelzverfahren und mit traditionellen Goldschmiedetechniken gefertigt und mit einer nadelmattierten Oberfläche veredelt. Die Elemente der Halskette sind an ausbalancierten Punkten miteinander verbunden, sodass das Set den Bewegungen der Trägerin folgt. Das Armband folgt der Form des Handgelenks, und die Ohrringe sind leicht und schwingen nahe am Gesicht. Das Set eignet sich für festliche und halbfestliche Anlässe. Die Fertigung erfolgt in Sonkajärvi, Finnland.
