Pounamu, Amethyst Stainless Steel Necklace

Pounamu, Amethyst Stainless Steel Necklace | Neil Adcock

Neil Adcock challenges the traditional notions of jewellery with this kinetic, sculptural piece that feels more like a miniature constellation than a classic pendant.

In this work, a vibrant green block of Pounamu (New Zealand Greenstone) serves as the anchor for a sprawling, industrial framework of hand-forged stainless steel.

The cool, architectural lines of the metal are punctuated by deep violet Amethyst spheres some faceted to catch the light, and one smooth orb that provides a final, weighted focal point.

Adcock’s unique ability to blend the raw, ancient energy of the land with a high-tech, futuristic aesthetic is on full display here. The "brutalist" cage structure doesn't just hold the stones; it allows them to float in a state of precarious, sophisticated balance.

It is a wearable sculpture that demands a closer look, designed for the individual who views jewellery as a primary form of creative expression.
