Leopard Mandala Necklace | 18k Gold Plated Wheat Chain | Luxe Collection

Strength, carried on a chain of prosperity.

Inside an oval of open goldwork, branches part and a leopard steps through, its body traced entirely in hand-set micro zirconia, catching light with every movement. Black stones mark the collar at its throat, linked to the bail by a fine chain, as if the animal were being led, or leading.. The frame is cut like foliage, so light passes through the piece the way it would through real leaves.

Across cultures, the big cat has stood for strength, courage and quiet power, the confidence to move alone and unhurried. It hangs here from a wheat chain, the weave named for the grain itself, long associated with abundance and prosperity. Two symbols, one piece.

A curated Brazilian piece selected one at a time, never mass-produced. Finished with 18k gold plating at 15 microns and sealed with Italian varnish. Most fashion jewelry uses less than one micron, which is why it fades. This doesn’t.

Built over a palladium base rather than nickel, the reason it sits comfortably on sensitive skin.

Two pieces in one: the pendant detaches, so the chain can be worn on its own. Large in presence, light on the neck. Unisex worn by men and women.
