The first thing you notice is the rectangular landscape jasper in the outer necklace, I brought back from Kyoto some 10 years ago. It has that uncanny, accidental artistry you find in good Japanese ceramics: soft rose, shiras, and muted earth tones drifting across the stone like a landscape pared down to its essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1194\"\u003eThe surrounding materials keep the mood steady. High- end transluscent and delicately faceted Smoky quartz brings transparency without shine. Raw rose quartz introduces a gentle roughness. Agates and stick pearls add small shifts in texture, just enough to keep the eye moving. The 22k gold-plated Istanbul components aren’t ornamental — they function more like clean architectural accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1472\"\u003eThe inner necklace echoes the palette but sharpens the geometry. Rose and shiras pearls form a soft gradient, interrupted by a cubist rose quartz pendant that gives the piece its contemporary line. It feels balanced, but not symmetrical; refined, but not precious. \u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBoth necklace can be worn independently, stacked or connected to make a mid- or long necklace!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eThe statement earrings take the modernist cue further: hammered vermeil bars (22k gold over sterling silver) form a simple vertical structure, holding drops of landscape jasper, pearls, and chalcedony.\u003cbr\u003eThe silhouette is concise — 6.9 cm — but visually confident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1881\"\u003eAnd for days when less is better, the tiny smoky quartz and rose quartz earrings carry the same palette in a much quieter tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"2023\"\u003eThis set works because it doesn’t try too hard. I would like to think it lets colour, form, and restraint do the work — the way good Japanese design always has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pieces will be beautifully gift-wrapped and ready as an exceptional gift for yourself or an unexpected gift for someone special.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luka Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46258020483223,"sku":"xmas25specialset174","price":399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/7451\/9408\/files\/174a.jpg?v=1763587748","url":"https:\/\/luka.com.au\/products\/n-174-christmas-2025-special-set","provider":"Luka Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
