Vintage Obsidian Y Necklace, Purple Rope Statement Necklace, Artisan Gold Jewelry, Gothic Gift

1. Product Details

Inspired by the elegance of antique European jewelry, this handcrafted Y-shaped statement necklace combines sculptural design with traditional craftsmanship. Rich deep purple braided rope links intertwine with polished black obsidian cabochons, creating a striking contrast between bold color and timeless antique gold.

Each element is handcrafted from H65 eco-friendly brass and finished with a thick 24K gold plating, followed by our family‘s signature hand-applied antique oxidation process that recreates the soft, mellow patina found on collectible jewelry from decades past. The necklace is further enhanced with genuine Swarovski crystals, intricate hand-carved metal detailing, and a dramatic Y-shaped pendant featuring a geometric black centerpiece suspended above a sculptural braided drop. Every connection, engraving, and stone setting is completed by hand rather than machine production, giving the necklace the character and presence of wearable sculpture instead of ordinary fashion jewelry.

Designed as a museum-inspired collectible, this necklace brings together Gothic elegance, vintage glamour, and contemporary sophistication in one unforgettable piece.

2. My Story

Hello, I‘m Lisa, a second-generation jewelry artisan and a graduate of the School of Jewellery at Birmingham City University.

I grew up in my family‘s jewelry workshop, where craftsmanship has been passed from one generation to the next. Watching my father create jewelry by hand inspired me to pursue professional jewelry design in England, where I transformed traditional techniques into contemporary collectible designs.

Every piece is handcrafted in our family‘s workshop with more than 25 years of jewelry manufacturing experience. Having produced jewelry for internationally recognized luxury brands, we continue to preserve our family‘s signature antique oxidation technique that recreates the warmth, depth, and character of authentic vintage jewelry. Rather than following seasonal trends, I design jewelry that celebrates artistry, heritage, and individuality—pieces that can be collected, treasured, and worn for years.

3. Styling Suggestions

The dramatic combination of deep purple and black creates an unmistakable vintage statement with timeless elegance.

As shown, pair it with a lightweight ivory textured blouse or sheer fabric to soften the bold silhouette while adding effortless artistic charm. For a refined Old Money aesthetic, wear it with a deep V-neck dress, tailored black blazer, or minimalist monochrome outfit, allowing the necklace to become the visual centerpiece.

This necklace requires little additional jewelry. Its sculptural Y-shape naturally elongates the neckline and elevates simple clothing into a sophisticated look. Perfect for gallery openings, museum visits, vintage parties, evening dinners, creative events, or occasions where distinctive craftsmanship deserves attention.

5. Designed For

I create jewelry for those who believe accessories should express personality rather than follow trends.

My collections are designed for collectors, entrepreneurs, artists, professionals, and independent women who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. Every piece begins with original sketches and is carefully refined through hand carving, stone setting, polishing, and finishing using techniques preserved through generations of our family workshop.

This necklace is not created to imitate fashion—it is created to become part of someone‘s personal collection, carrying craftsmanship, history, and artistic expression into everyday life.
