Ruby, Mother of Pearl Stainless Steel Necklace

Ruby, Mother of Pearl Stainless Steel Necklace | Neil Adcock

Neil Adcock continues to challenge the boundaries of contemporary adornment with this striking, articulated pendant that feels like a modern talisman.

The piece is a sophisticated study in material contrast, featuring a tiered, architectural design. At the top, a vibrant, faceted untreated Ruby is set within a structural stainless steel cage, positioned just above a solid block of deep-green Pounamu. This rich, earthy core is linked to a long, luminous blade of Mother of Pearl, which catches the light with a soft, oceanic iridescence.

Adcock’s "brutalist" aesthetic is on full display here, using hand-welded industrial steel to transform these precious organic materials into a bold, geometric statement. The articulated movement between the sections adds a kinetic energy to the work, ensuring it sits with grace and presence on the body.

It is a wearable sculpture designed for the individual who values the raw materials of the Pacific refined through a sharp, futuristic lens.
