Andrés Gallardo Little Hands Link Gold-Plated Necklace

Description

An elegant, expressive style handmade from porcelain.

Hands-which we use to communicate, sense, measure, and interact with the material worlds-were explored in Hand Signals: Digits, Fists, and Talons, a 2013 exhibition of 20th-century posters and ephemera from the Museum’s collection. Artists and designers have focused on this body part to represent a gamut of emotions. The sculptural Andrés Gallardo Little Hands Link Necklace is full of symbolism. One porcelain hand loops through an 18k gold-plated brass ring while the other gently hangs at the end of the fine chain. Wear this adjustable lariat design as a simple statement alone or with the matching earrings for additional impact. Andrés Gallardo and Marina Casal formed their Madrid-based brand in 2010 when they started making jewelry out of porcelain found at flea markets and antique shops-today they work with artisans in Spain and Portugal who use traditional techniques to handcraft each piece. The Andrés Gallardo Little Hands Link Gold-Plated Necklace measures 20.75″l with a pendant measuring 1.18l x 0.47″w.
