chūbū 1.5 choker
description
chūbu, a name that speaks to the hollow form of the tube, a balance between structure and emptiness.
a 15mm hollow form, entirely hand-crafted from sterling silver 925.
unlike other chūbu designs, here the surface is gently hammered to preserve the purity of the tube form.
born from the study of elongation inspired by the giraffe women, chūbu reinterprets this gesture as a contemporary sculptural language. a system of pieces designed to stand alone or to stack in dialogue with one another.
formed entirely by hand — no molds, no repetition.
each surface bears the trace of its making; irregularities are intentional, a record of process and touch.
made to order — please allow 3 to 4 weeks for completion.
