A matched necklace and pair of clip-on earrings from Kenzo, in gold-tone metal, with sculpted leaves heavy with clusters of cream pearls. The necklace measures 47 cm; one pearl is missing from one earring, as noted below.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Botanical motifs have been part of that vocabulary from the start, and this set renders them in the bold costume jewellery tradition: a branch of textured leaves, fruiting with pearls, worn low at the collarbone.
The necklace carries its garland at the front, a swag of veined golden leaves with faux pearls of several sizes clustered beneath them, set off against a hand-linked cable chain. At the back the chain finishes in a row of small flower-shaped links with a hook closure, which allows the length to be adjusted. The earrings repeat the idea in miniature, each a single leaf with a trio of pearls hanging from it, fitted with clip-on backs and stamped with the Kenzo mark.
Measured flat: necklace circumference 47 cm (18.5 in); front garland 14.5 cm wide by 2 cm high (5.7 by 0.8 in); each earring 4 cm high by 2 cm wide (1.6 by 0.8 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 mm.
