Connection and a sense of wonder.
Elara is a handcrafted gemstone choker style necklace, featuring a circular stone framed with forged recycled sterling silver at the bottom of the design, leaving the top half of the stone free to appreciate the stone. Decorated with flowing, hand-formed spiral details. The sculptural silverwork sweeps across the stone in an open, organic spiral pattern, creating a distinctive balance of movement, texture and natural beauty. Finished with a sterling silver round belcher chain.
Here it is set with Lapis Lazuli, treasured for centuries and traditionally associated with wisdom, truth and self-expression. It is believed to encourage honest communication, confidence and thoughtful reflection. Often linked with insight and creativity, this deep-blue stone symbolises the search for knowledge and a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. Its rich colour, sometimes scattered with golden pyrite flecks, gives it a timeless appeal.

How it is made
Handcrafted choker featuring a circular gemstone set within a forged recycled sterling silver framework. Individually shaped silver wire forms flowing spiral details across the stone, creating an open decorative design that allows the natural colour and pattern of the gemstone to show through. Finished with a sterling silver round belcher chain.
The story of Elara
Elara brings together the natural character of gemstones and the expressive movement of hand-forged silver. Flowing spirals create a sense of energy and connection across the circular stone, giving the design an organic, sculptural feel. Worn close to the neckline on a silver belcher chain, it is a distinctive piece that celebrates individuality and the beauty of handmade detail.
Elara is best known as the name of one of Jupiter’s moons. In Greek mythology, Elara was a mortal woman loved by Zeus, the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter.
Inspired by the symbolism of circles and spirals, Elara explores themes of connection, continuity and movement. The circular gemstone provides a natural focal point, while the flowing spiral silverwork creates a sense of balance and energy.
Styling
Wear Elara with open necklines, simple tops, linen shirts or flowing dresses to highlight the circular gemstone and sculptural silver detail. The choker length makes it a natural focal point, while the silver belcher chain pairs well with understated silver earrings or bracelets. Wear it alone for a distinctive look or combine it with longer, finer chains for a relaxed layered style.
