Unique imperfect perfection with attention to details
// Inspired by the city of Athens, Greece; the timeless city of extremes where marble collides with concrete but still they fit together so closely. A ruined expired city that yet stands so proud and mighty and resists mortality persistently. The city of the vibrant energy and potency of the gods. Be inspired by your own energy. You write your future; you write your story. //
Minimal brutalist pendant made of granite Jesmonite on a stainless steel silver ball chain. Jesmonite is an eco-friendly water based material, free of solvents and VOC, therefore a great option for a regular concrete cast. The pendant comes in a shape of tube (cylinder) or rectangle (rectangular prism).
These timeless architectural geometric pieces are created for people with attention to fine details and minimal style that can be implemented in any occasion.
Irregularities and variation in color, shape, size and air bubbles holes are not fault but they are rather beautiful imperfections that make each piece unique, so each piece slightly differs from the piece on the photograph. The unfinished look is what gives the cast objects its charm and simplicity in the raw ‘beton brut’ material.
All the pieces are designed and manufactured in our small home studio in Athens. Each piece has been cast and sanded with great care and attention, in separate steps that take several days to be finished. These pieces look like they have been fabricated and mass made due to their industrial style and the materials used, however no 3D printer or any machinery were used. Each piece is individually hand poured with the help of a mold and is handcrafted in several steps in small batch. We even make hooks which are shaped with metal wire, so each step is conducted manually until the finished product arises in its simplicity. Only one tube pendant and one rectangle pendant can be made per day so that adds up to the final value of the product.
Each Jesmonite piece resembles concrete when taken from the mold. We only use Jesmonite AC730, a much thicker granulated version of a regular Jesmonite (liquid to powder ratio 1:5) with a special finish. In order to get rid of the shiny surface and make the stone finish, the pendant is treated with acid etch and the mixture of vinegar, salt and baking soda, and soaked in water. The process is repeated up to five times or until the surface looks rough and textured. That is why the corners of Jesmonite products may look more smooth than on a regular concrete cast. Also, the handmade metal wire is processed on a pendant so it has got bronze hue instead of silver.
Finally, the pendant is protected with JesmoniteAC730 Flexiguard sealer to provide resistance against environmental contaminants and to give matt finish. Flexiguard sealer is specifically designed to coat porous substrates in Jesmonite AC730 and to offer protection against exhaustion and dirt. Once applied, a protective layer less than 100 nm thick is bonded to the inner pores of the substrate to leave a smooth, anti-stain surface layer. The coating is optically clear, UV stable, and extremely durable, with hydrophobic and oleophobic ability. For more information please visit https://jesmonite.com/
The handmade wire is placed throughout the length for extra support. Although Jesmonite is strong, it is not unbreakable - if dropped on a hard surface, it may chip, crack or shatter, so please treat it gently. It is water resistant so you can clean it with soap and water together with the cord.
Great attention was given to packaging that is made in Greece. Each design comes carefully packed in a kraft box packaging with a small pouch bag, each individually stamped with a handmade logo.
Necklace weight: approx. 8 gr
Pendant weight: approx. 7 gr
Length of the ball chain: 70 mm
Large cube/sphere dimensions: W/H/L 16mm
Cord material: braided nylon 0.7 mm
Cord colors: cream, gray, black
Each necklace is made to order so the time we need to prepare an order for shipping varies (5 days to 2 weeks).
We do not accept custom orders, but you can customize your necklace by choosing preferred pendant shape and the desired finish.
Please note the actual color may vary slightly from your screen.
