A modern, elegant necklace. Miren has been formed from hand pierced, silver sheet which was then textured and shaped in a rolling mill, before being polished to a beautiful lustre. The centrepiece is 2 inches wide. The back has a similar texture - but without the flowers. A handmade chain and clasp complete the look.

Miren is currently 15¼ to 16¼ inches long but works equally well as a choker and can be shortened (or lengthened) on request.

Barrel weave units connect each piece and a handmade chain and clasp complete the look.
