The Ascension necklace by Peter Schmid is a masterwork of elemental beauty and refined power, an opulent ode to transformation rooted in the earth and reaching for the divine. Forged from a continuous strand of high-karat gold, the necklace drapes gracefully around the collar with sculptural precision. Each link is substantial yet fluid, glowing with the warmth and weight of pure gold, whispering of ancient craft and celestial purpose.
At its center hangs a luminous cacoxenite—an otherworldly gemstone whose violet inclusions seem to pulse with inner life. Above it blooms a sculptural golden flower, its form both ancient and eternal, with three vivid Mahenge garnets nestled like drops of sacred pollen. White and pink diamonds glisten along the golden leaves, catching light like morning dew or stardust. At once commanding and exquisitely refined, this is not merely a necklace, but a ceremonial adornment—a masterpiece for the collector who seeks poetry in gold and grace in form.
This extraordinary necklace is part of our current exhibition and will remain on view in the gallery for the duration of the show. While it is available for purchase, it will not be released until the exhibition concludes at the end of September. We invite you to visit and experience it in person during this special show.
