This ‘Small’ Pond Ripples Disk is slightly smaller than ‘Pond Ripple’ disk (approx.18mm diameter) necklace. The small disk looks more delicate and still has a lot of fine lines and details. The pendant top is attached on a diamond cut ball chain with an adjuster chain. Available in 18ct rose gold plating on sterling silver.
The ‘Pond’ shape was originally inspired by the Kyoto Garden in a part of Holland Park, London which is Yuki’s local park now. That traditional Japanese garden area is very different from other parts of Holland Park. A big pond is surrounded by well trimmed trees, stones and lawns, but somehow the garden is harmonised with the Victorian English park and is a very popular area of the park. It was a wonderful experience to see different cultural background’s people all with a different sense of beauty enjoying and sharing the same garden.
Disk: approx. 15mm diameter x 2.5mm height.
Chain: 1mm thickness, adjustable length: approx. 400- 430mm.
