Collection: Tellmark Necklace

The Tellmark is built in tiered geometric layers: rectangular focal gemstones step across the collar, each held in a lattice of seed beads woven into triangular trusses. The structure descends into a stepped central pendant, stacked beadwork form on beadwork form, with fringe drops that hang from the pendant base and from each flanking stone, moving independently under their own weight.

The name comes from tells, the layered mounds left by millennia of human settlement, where each generation built directly on the one before. The necklace works the same way: architecture stacked on architecture, ancient on ancient. The motifs are drawn from an archaeological site in modern-day Jordan.

The name nods to tells, or the layered mounds left by millennia of human settlement, where each generation built on the one before. The structure of the necklace mirrors that: architecture stacked on architecture, ancient on ancient.

Wear yours to a lecture, a gallery opening, or any night you want people to ask where it's from. A simple turtleneck or a structured linen tunic lets the geometry hold the spotlight.
