Nautilus Charm Necklace

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 admired, 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 The Nautilus charm fascinated me the moment I saw it. Surprisingly, I stayed away from the blues and greens I might normally associate with the sea and headed in a completely different direction. Spicy paprika and cinnamon gave me the vibe I was searching for—warm, rich, and a little unexpected. Matte gold wheat chain, Citrine, orange enamel, and carved Carnelian brought that spicy palette together. I loved watching those warm shades play against the Nautilus and give it an entirely different personality. I'd been watching these rich, earthy colors saunter down the fall runways. Paprika, cinnamon, and glowing gold seemed especially irresistible translated into gemstones and metal. The triangular toggle was the unexpected finishing touch. I loved its slightly whimsical shape against the organic Nautilus—and the fact that it's wonderfully easy to use made the choice even better. At 21 inches, with a 2½-inch pendant, it has plenty of presence on its own. I can also picture it layered between shorter beads and a longer chain for an entirely different look.
