"Today accessories are a key element in any outfit, so I decided to focus on the concept of necklace where often the most important role is played by the pendant and not by the chain that supports it," she told Dezeen.

Each design is based on a continuous strand of material, which loops back on itself into a thin element that hooks behind a lip of fabric.
