Hold a real Starfish up to the light and notice what happens. The arms become almost translucent — you can see the light filtering through them the way it filters through a cathedral window. That quality of light, that sense of something both solid and luminous at once, is exactly what makes the Starfish such a perfect subject for Plique-a-jour enamel. And in Nautora's hands, the result is one of the most technically extraordinary and visually breathtaking pieces in the entire Coastal Collection.
Nautora's Starfish Necklace is crafted in sterling silver and brought to luminous life using the Plique-a-jour technique — from the French meaning letting in daylight. This is one of the most demanding enameling techniques in fine jewelry: the enamel is applied in openings in the metal like stained glass, with no backing beneath it, so that light passes directly through the enamel from behind. The result is a pendant that seems to glow from within — warm, translucent, alive with color that shifts with every movement of the light. This is the same process used by the finest jewelry houses for more than a century, and mastering it requires a level of craft that very few jewelry makers in the world possess.
At the center of the Starfish, a genuine white topaz gemstone sparkles — that brilliant focal point that anchors the design and gives the whole piece an unmistakable presence. At three-quarters of an inch wide by three-quarters of an inch tall the pendant is a perfect square — elegantly proportioned and completely versatile. It pairs beautifully with the matching Starfish Earrings from the Nautora Coastal Collection.
At Nautora, the Coastal Collection represents our highest level of craft. This Starfish necklace is built to be worn, treasured, and eventually passed on to someone who will love it as much as you do.
