They appear without warning — alongside the bow, under the hull, riding the pressure wave of a passing boat with such effortless, joyful speed that everyone on deck stops what they are doing and watches. A Bottlenose Dolphin at full swim is one of the most graceful things the ocean produces. Fluid, intelligent, completely in its element in a way that makes you feel, for just a moment, that the sea is a genuinely friendly place. This necklace was made to carry that feeling.
Nautora's Bottlenose Dolphin Necklace is part of the Nautora Coastal Collection — and it is executed using the Basse-taille enameling technique that places it firmly in the tradition of the finest jewelry houses. From the French meaning low-cut, Basse-taille begins with a delicate low-relief engraving of the Dolphin in the sterling silver surface. Translucent and transparent enamels are then applied over the engraving — and as light passes through the enamel and reflects off the textured metal beneath, it creates a luminosity and depth of color that shifts beautifully with every movement. The same process was perfected by Faberge and Tiffany, whose pieces have graced royal collections for more than a century.
The Dolphin's eye is set with a genuine white topaz gemstone — that brilliant point of light that gives the animal an unmistakable spark of life and presence. At one and a quarter inches tall by half an inch wide this pendant is gracefully proportioned — the long elegant form of the Dolphin rendered at a scale that wears beautifully at every neckline. The pendant comes on a sterling silver chain adjustable from 16 to 18 inches. It pairs beautifully with the matching Bottlenose Dolphin Earrings from the Nautora Coastal Collection.
At Nautora, the Coastal Collection represents our highest level of craft. This Dolphin necklace is built to be worn every day and eventually passed on to someone who loves these animals as much as you do.
Add it to your collection today — this one is genuinely special.
