There is no bird quite like a hummingbird. It operates by entirely different rules than anything else in the natural world — hovering in true mid-air with wings beating sixty times a second, moving in every direction with equal precision, its iridescent feathers shifting from emerald to ruby to sapphire depending on how the light finds them. When one visits a garden flower, the whole scene feels less like nature and more like something painted. Which, in the hands of Dr. Guy Harvey, is exactly what it becomes.
Nautora's Hummingbird Necklace is part of the Coastal Collection — and it is executed using one of the most refined and historically significant enameling techniques in the world of fine jewelry. The process is known as Basse-taille, from the French meaning low-cut — a method in which the surface of the sterling silver is engraved with a delicate low-relief design which is then covered with translucent and transparent enamels. As light passes through the enamel and reflects off the textured metal beneath, it creates a luminosity and depth of color that no painted or flat enamel finish can approach. This is the same technique employed by the great jewelry houses for centuries, and it gives this hummingbird pendant a glow that shifts and shimmers with every movement.
The result is a pendant that is both scientifically inspired and deeply beautiful — one that captures the hummingbird's iridescent colors with a fidelity that makes you look twice. At one inch tall by one inch wide it wears beautifully at any neckline, substantial enough to be noticed and refined enough to go anywhere the day takes you.
The pendant arrives on a sterling silver 18 inch double link chain with a 16 inch adjustment station — adjustable to the exact length you prefer, in fine sterling silver that complements the pendant at every angle.
At Nautora, we are the exclusive maker and seller of Guy Harvey jewelry and we hold every piece in the Coastal Collection to heirloom quality — made to be worn, treasured, and eventually passed on to someone who will love it just as much.
This is the gift for the woman who fills her garden with flowers so the hummingbirds will come. Add it to your collection today.
