{"product_id":"katerina-psoma-necklace-alba-necklace-gold","title":"KATERINA PSOMA | Alba Necklace - Gold-Plated Brass \u0026 Quartz","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Alba Necklace is a study in sculptural restraint, a piece that announces itself through weight, light, and the quiet authority of raw materials. At its heart sits a single crystal quartz stone, unpolished and unapologetic, set against a framework of gold-plated brass that catches the eye with a warm, enduring glow. This is not a whisper of an accessory; it is a deliberate statement, engineered to hold its own against sharp tailoring, bare décolletage, or the stark neckline of a winter knit.\n\nThe interplay between the crystal and the metal is where the necklace finds its tension. The quartz, with its natural inclusions and subtle variations in tone, offers an organic counterpoint to the precise, architectural lines of the brass. It is a stone that refuses to be perfect, and that refusal is precisely what makes it so compelling. The gold plating is not brash; it has a muted, lived-in luminosity that suggests something with a history, a piece that will only grow more characterful with wear. There is a substantial heft to the necklace, a grounding weight that reminds you it is there without ever feeling cumbersome.\n\nKATERINA PSOMA has constructed this piece with a jeweller's precision. The brass framework is clean and uncluttered, allowing the quartz to remain the undisputed focal point. The chain itself is thoughtfully proportioned, designed to sit at the collarbone with a deliberate, confident presence. It is a necklace that understands the architecture of the neck and shoulders, framing the décolletage with a graphic, almost brutalist elegance. The construction is robust; this is a piece built to be worn, not merely admired.\n\nIn movement, the Alba catches the light with a shifting, irregular sparkle, the raw quartz refracting in a way that a perfectly cut stone never could. It has a dynamic quality, a sense of being alive against the skin. It is a piece that works as a focal point for an evening look, but its true strength lies in its versatility. Wear it to break up the severity of a black turtleneck, to add a tactile dimension to a crisp white shirt, or to lend a sculptural finish to a slip dress. It belongs at a gallery opening as much as it does at a late dinner, lending a considered, artistic edge to whatever it touches.\n\nStyling the Alba is about restraint elsewhere. Let it be the protagonist. Pair it with clean, simple lines—a cashmere crewneck, a silk blouse, a tailored blazer—and allow the necklace to provide the ornament. Its seasonality is as broad as its styling potential; it will sit as comfortably against bare summer skin as it will over the heavy knits of winter, making it a permanent fixture in a considered wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KATERINA PSOMA","offers":[{"title":"GOLD \/ U","offer_id":41796085579909,"sku":"705 ALBA NECKLACE","price":2090.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/RAV08017_copy.JPG?v=1786055260","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/katerina-psoma-necklace-alba-necklace-gold","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
