Two different precious metals are bonded together by hand and crafted into a chain, one link at a time, to create the Parallel Necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor this edition, cliché commissioned a special version with both the materials and length changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFirst, the materials. Unlike the original, this version combines K10 white gold and SV950.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhite gold and silver are both silvery-white metals, but their colors, textures, and ways of changing over time are different. K10 white gold has the subdued tone characteristic of a gold alloy, while SV950 has the brightness associated with silver. They are two metals that may seem similar, but are by no means the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe most noteworthy aspect of this necklace is its making process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDifferent metals are bonded together and then crafted into a chain by hand, one link at a time. It sounds simple, but in practice it is an extremely time-consuming process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eK10 white gold in particular is hard and not an easy material to work with. Shaping it and joining it into a chain require more time and skill than usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd this process is repeated not just once or twice, but until it becomes a single necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe finished piece is remarkably simple, but an enormous amount of handwork lies behind it. This is not jewelry made to display the effort involved, but I believe it possesses an expression that could only emerge after passing through such an extensive process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eAnd the reason for combining \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ethese two materials is not limited to their beauty at the moment of completion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eK10 white gold and SV950 change differently with wear. SV950 in particular is a material whose surface oxidizes over time, gradually developing a more subdued tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe two metals, initially close in color, slowly begin to reveal different expressions as the years pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe calm whiteness of white gold and the depth of well-worn silver. This contrast should create a beauty distinct from that of the necklace when new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe length is also a special specification exclusive to cliché.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe original is 74 cm, but this version has been made at 49 cm, 25 cm shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOf course, 74 cm has its own appeal. It falls clearly to the chest, allowing the necklace itself to become an element of the styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis time, however, we envisioned a position somewhat closer to the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith a T-shirt, it sits just near the neckline. With a shirt, it peeks out slightly from the open top button. Even under a jacket, it does not disappear into the V-zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRather than choosing clothes to show off the necklace, the necklace is simply there, naturally, when you put on your usual clothes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat is what the 49 cm length is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShortening it by 25 cm significantly changes the impression it makes when worn, despite the same design. We considered not only the beauty of the jewelry on its own, but also how it would look when worn with clothing. This length was chosen with that in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAVM is a jewelry brand based in Nemuro, Hokkaido, where Hiro道 Furukawa handcrafts each piece individually. He draws forms from natural objects, old designs, and things he happens to pick up, then translates them into materials such as metal and horn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUsing hard K10 white gold, bonding different metals together, and handcrafting them into a chain one link at a time: despite the extraordinary amount of work involved, the finished piece remains entirely natural in appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd the more it is worn, the more the color of the SV950 changes, gradually bringing the difference between the two metals to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThis is jewelry that takes time to make, and requires time even after completion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is appeal in beauty that is complete from the outset, but objects that allow you to imagine how they will look after being worn in have a different kind of charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is the Parallel Necklace, with both its materials and length specially altered for cliché.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVM","offers":[{"title":"WHITE GOLD × SILVER","offer_id":67654989905994,"sku":"TPS-AAA-46","price":814000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6174\/8554\/files\/L1002163_3b7daa1f-18fb-47f6-a51d-4a610fd70cab.jpg?v=1791700770","url":"https:\/\/storecliche.com\/en\/products\/avm-parallel-necklace-k10wg-sv950","provider":"cliché","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
