An ancient seed, a sea urchin, a small unknown planet.

Archeperla is an organic ceramic form covered in small reliefs, raised from the clay one by one with the fingers. Above the large pendant shines a small white porcelain bead speckled with terracotta red, and further down a brick-coloured tassel moves with every step.

From the Silenzio Japamala (Japamala Silence) collection, inspired by the sacred prayer necklaces of India. It is a tactile necklace: whoever wears it loves to feel it between the fingers, at any moment of the day.

Hollow at the centre, like every bead Simona Frigerio makes: forty-five grams you can barely feel on the neck. The sand-coloured cord runs between two knots, held by two ivory ceramic beads. The length is adjustable: wear it long over a shirt, or higher, as a choker.

White goes with everything, which is why this is the necklace to wear every day. A velvety talisman, made to be touched.

Archeperla also comes in other colours: choose yours.
