Eleven hammered oval discs hang in a graduated bib arrangement from a rolo-link center section, fanning outward and downward so the largest discs fall at the center and the smallest sit at the outer edges where the bib meets the chain. The front face of each disc is smooth and deeply hammered — broad irregular dents that catch and redirect light across the whole surface — while the reverse shows a brushed linear texture visible when the discs move and turn. That contrast between the two surfaces means the necklace is never fully still-looking, even when the wearer isn't moving.
The bib format here is architectural without being rigid: the discs are connected loosely enough through the rolo link center that the whole arrangement shifts and layers when worn, the pieces overlapping slightly at the top rows and separating at the bottom where the longer center discs hang free. On the neck it reads as a single sculptural shape; off the neck it opens up into something more intricate. The curb chain is flat and fine relative to the pendant's weight, which keeps the visual emphasis on the bib rather than the chain. Lobster clasp with a short extender chain finished with a small stone bead. Unsigned and in great condition.
