NZ Jade Pounamu, Fine Silver and Stainless Steel Necklace

NZ Jade Pounamu, Fine Silver and Stainless Steel Necklace | Neil Adcock

In this variation, Neil Adcock reimagines the relationship between stone, steel and silver, presenting a piece that celebrates the organic imperfection of Aotearoa’s treasures.

This necklace features a significant circular slice of New Zealand Pounamu, showcasing a deep, moss-like grain with rich emerald inclusions. Unlike a standard bezel, the stone is enveloped in a hand-hammered frame that follows its natural contours, giving the pendant a tactile, forged quality that feels uniquely human.

The design is elevated by a striking, oversized hoop chain. These hand-formed stainless steel rings create a rhythmic, open-air structure that leads the eye directly to the verdant heart of the piece. It is a bold departure from traditional settings, leaning into a more avant-garde, sculptural aesthetic while remaining deeply grounded in its materials.

For the collector seeking a piece with high visual impact and a hand-crafted soul, this necklace serves as a beautiful anchor for any contemporary wardrobe.
