JOSSIE- Short Paper Clip Necklace with CZ Carabiner and Charm

THROUGH THE DESIGNER'S LENS- A thoughtfully curated jewelry collection grows one exceptional piece at a time. Every design begins long before I choose a single gemstone. It begins with years of noticing—the architecture I've aoday'sdmired, the places I've traveled, the remarkable people I've met, and the curiosity that has shaped the way I see the world. I'd love to share my perspective behind this design. ________________________________________ WHY YOU'LL REACH FOR IT Jossie began with a contradiction I couldn't resist. I wanted a necklace with plenty of presence and glamour, but one I wouldn't hesitate to reach for on an ordinary day. The oversized paperclip links gave me the bold, sculptural silhouette I was after, while that unexpected touch of rhinestone added just enough sparkle. Somehow the combination works just as beautifully on its own as it does mixed into a layered look regadless whether you choose the short, medium or longest length. Seventeen inches of bold paperclip chain set the stage. I added an emerald-green CZ carabiner and flower for that unexpected flash of color and sparkle. I kept the lobster clasp quietly in the back. It's simple to use and lets the more decorative details remain the focus. I deliberately placed the pavé carabiner off to one side. That little bit of asymmetry gives Jossie even more personality—and because the carabiner opens, you can add other charms whenever the mood strikes. I designed Jossie with layering in mind. I love the contrast of a longer necklace falling beneath her, or you can play with her sisters, Flossie and Mopsy, for a completely different mix.
