Ancient silver craft, modern lines.
Kona means “corner” or “angle,” and this necklace is all about clean, sculptural angles. Each bead is shaped by hand from 925 sterling silver into a faceted cube with its corners cut away, so square and triangular faces catch the light from every direction. The beads are graduated from a delicate 8 mm at the clasp to a bold 15 mm at the centre, so the necklace builds gently towards the front.
It looks heavy but isn’t. Every bead is hollow, so you get the presence of a statement piece at a comfortable 108 g. The beads are linked by hand on silver wire, so the necklace drapes and moves naturally, and it fastens with a simple S-hook.
It’s the kind of piece that goes with everything. Wear it on its own over a crisp white shirt, a black tee or a slip dress for a clean, contemporary look. Layer it with pendants, chains or a gundu mala. Or wear it with a handloom or Ikat saree for a modern twist on traditional silver.
What makes it special:
- Hand-shaped faceted cube beads in solid 925 sterling silver
- Graduated from 8 mm to 15 mm for a balanced, sculptural drape

Care: Hollow beads are light but can dent, so store the necklace flat in a pouch and don’t press or crush it. Wipe with a polishing cloth to bring back the shine. Keep away from perfume, lotion and water.
Note: Each bead is shaped by hand, so small differences in the facets are part of its character.
