This Kite-Shaped Onyx Pendant Necklace from India 'Black Kite' is an elegant and classic accessory. Designed by Alok Jain, this necklace features a cabochon of onyx that gleams black, framed by handcrafted rope, swirl, and dot patterns in sterling silver. The piece, which balances timeless style with evolving fashion, is a beautiful representation of the artisan's commitment to providing opportunity and livelihood for the families who bring each creation to life.
From the age of 17, this Indian artisan has been immersed in the world of handicrafts, beginning with sandalwood and brass before finding his true calling in jewelry. Inspired by the natural world, his designs often feature organic motifs that blend artistry with elegance. A career highlight came in 1995, when the Sultan of Brunei commissioned his work, a project that brought together a team of artisans in a two-month collaboration that remains unforgettable. In 2002, he joined Novica, an experience he credits with transforming his craft from simple jewelry into true art. Over two decades, he has grown from working with a single helper to leading a small team of artisans, instilling in them the importance of precision and uncompromising quality. Today, his designs reflect a balance between timeless style and evolving fashion, while his workshop provides opportunity and livelihood for the families who bring each creation to life.
Handcrafted in India with .925 sterling silver and onyx. The necklace is 18 inches long. The pendant measures 1.6 inches in length and 1.1 inches in width. It has a combination finish.
