Double layer neck collar in sterling silver and 18K bi-metal

This quote by artist Reiko Ishiyama says it all.  "My work has an almost fragile quality, stressing lightness and mobility. By shaping paper thin sheets of silver, I can house space itself. When people hold my work in their hands, they are often surprised by its delicacy and lightness. There is an evanescent, momentary quality that I hope people can truly savor when they wear my pieces.”

Formed sterling silver and 18K bi-metal.  Actual length 18", but fits more like a 17" necklace.
