News from the shop, including a monthly note of new arrivals.
This necklace was made in Brazil, where gold plated brass jewelry like this has its own name, semijoia, and is made to be worn every day. The 18K plating has the warm, rich yellow you'd expect from higher-karat gold.
The bib is built from flat, rounded plates in all sorts of irregular shapes, some nearly triangular and some long and gently curved. Each is joined to its neighbors by small jump rings, so the whole piece moves and settles against you rather than sitting stiffly. Everything is brushed to a soft satin finish that catches the light in streaks. It hangs from a fine gold-tone chain with a short length of extra chain at the clasp, so you can adjust how it sits.

Wearing it with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
