Why the finish matters more than you think

At first glance it seems like a small detail. In reality, it’s the very first thing you notice.
The finish determines how a pendant catches the light, how it feels to the touch, how understated or luminous it looks — and, above all, the final effect when you wear it: on its own, or layered with other necklaces.

Materials and colors: yellow, white, and rose gold

A finish never exists on its own — it changes depending on the gold color. Yellow gold warms the reflections. White gold sharpens contrast and makes details stand out. Rose gold softens everything and gives a more contemporary feel. Our pieces are available in different karats, from 8 to 18 kt, so you can find the right balance between look, everyday wear, and budget.

  • Yellow gold: warm reflections, a more classic feel

  • White gold: cooler, cleaner light; details appear sharper

  • Rose gold: a softer, modern tone — especially beautiful on satin finishes

Openwork pendant: light, airy, full of movement

An openwork pendant plays with solid and empty space. Light passes through the design, creating a dynamic effect that changes as you move. It also works beautifully for layering, because it never feels visually heavy.
From a technical point of view, it often starts from a sheet worked with laser cutting — ideal for precise profiles and fine lines. Then comes the finishing stage, where edges are refined and the final surface finish is defined.

Smooth pendant: clean, minimal, always right

A smooth pendant is the most minimal choice. Here, proportions do the work: thickness, curvature, balance at the bail. It can be mirror-polished for a crisp, full shine, or satin-finished for a softer, more tactile feel.
It’s often the easiest style to wear every day — and also the best option if you’d like a discreet dedication engraved on the back.

Diamond-cut pendant: technical sparkle, “broken” light

A diamond-cut pendant doesn’t contain diamonds — it’s a finishing technique. Diamond-cutting creates tiny facets that catch and multiply the light, giving that lively, ever-changing sparkle. It’s ideal on edges, frames, geometric surfaces, and details you want to highlight without increasing size or volume.

How to spot them at a glance

  • Openwork: you can see through it; light passes through the cut-outs
  • Smooth: an even surface, with no visible texture
  • Diamond-cut: a faceted shimmer with more vibrant reflections

Which one should you choose? It depends on how you’ll wear it

If you want an easy everyday piece, smooth is a safe choice. If you prefer something more graphic and lightweight, openwork brings a modern presence. If you love a finish that “switches on” with every step, diamond-cut is the one that changes character throughout the day.
