THE LACQUER PENDANT





In her collections for Tiffany & Co., Elsa Peretti explores traditional crafts such as Urushi (the Japanese word for lacquer), an exacting 70-step process using natural tree sap over carved Japanese hardwood. The designer highlights the craft’s rich beauty in colorful, bold lacquer pendants—sleek black Bean®, brilliant red Round, and gleaming gold Sevillana™, a clean, open design—on black silk cords. The dramatic pendants are original and timeless accessories, versatile enough to wear with silks shirts or T-shirts.
