Description
A hand-embossed silver flower rests above a crescent of handwoven horsehair, hung from a fine textured silver chain. Larger silver blooms sit on either side of the neck with smaller flowers in between, framing the collarbone in a balanced rhythm. Sculptural yet light, it is made to be worn every day.
The silver flowers are hand-embossed by Miao/Hmong silversmiths, and the Chilean horsehair is woven by hand: two crafts from distant hands, met in one piece. 99% fine silver, matte white: fired, never plated. Designed in Paris for the Distant Hands collection.

Care
Most CUNZU pieces are made of 99% silver with our signature matte white finish. This matte surface is the natural state of pure silver after high-temperature firing. It is not a plating or coating.
As you wear it, the silver will gradually polish to a bright shine, or oxidise and darken. Both are natural. Pure silver oxidises slowly over time, and this cannot be avoided.
Store your pieces in a sealed bag or airtight space to slow oxidation. If the silver darkens, use a silver cleaning solution or polishing cream. Soak the piece in cleaning solution for one minute, rinse with clean water, then dry, ideally with a hair dryer. The silver will return to a bright finish.
Horsehair care: remove the horsehair elements and wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking horsehair in water.
