"DRIES VAN NOTTEN" 2022's Double crystal detail magnetic choker
We are pleased to present to you some exquisite pieces from Dries Van Notten, a Belgian designer who is one of the Antwerp Six and who pursues high fashion with impeccable craftsmanship and dynamic yet balanced designs, that are as beautiful as works of art.
This masterpiece is made by weaving two strands of crystals together and layering multiple layers of light to illuminate the neck.
The key to the design is the "hidden setting" in which a crystal of the same diameter is set deep in a rounded metal cup. The claws are not noticeable, giving the piece a smooth appearance, and the raised edges create a small ring of reflection, adding soft shadows to the brilliance of the stone itself.
The double-row arrangement has a slight difference in height between the outer and inner circumferences, creating a gentle step in the cross section, which creates a thickness resembling a coil when viewed from the side. Each cup is offset and connected on the back, allowing it to move precisely along the curve of the neck, so despite its heavy appearance, it feels supple when worn and fits naturally against bare skin and fabric.
The metal is finished in a muted tone, which accentuates the contrast with the transparent crystal while giving it a refined shine with reduced glare.
The fastening is a cylindrical magnet that adheres to the headband when brought close, making it easy to put on and take off with one hand. The spherical parts on both ends allow for slight rotation, preventing twisting at the back, and the function is also a beautiful accent. The fastening position is compact, and careful consideration has been given to making the back look neat even when the hair is up.
In terms of styling, it is excellent to wear with a V-neck knit or an open-neck shirt to elevate your everyday outfit, and if you let it peek out slightly from the collar of a tailored jacket or minimalist dress, it will naturally draw the focus of the entire outfit to the neck, enhancing its completeness.
Please take this opportunity.
