Gaia Giant Bead Long Silver Necklace
Regular price
£229.00 GBP
Colour
Bubinga
Fifty millimetres of hand-turned wood on a long sterling silver spiga chain. Pick it up and the sphere is the first thing you feel: round, smooth, heavier than you expect. Put it on and the chain settles against the body. The sphere rests at the sternum, warm and specific.
The largest piece in the Gaia collection. In bubinga the grain is dramatic and deep. In walnut it is warm. In sycamore it is quieter, almost pale. Different versions of the same bold idea.
Designer's Note
‘Fifty millimetres feels excessive until it doesn’t. The simplicity brings it back and the giant sphere gives you something worth wearing. I made this piece because I wanted to see how large the form could go and still be jewellery rather than sculpture. This is the answer.’
Claire de Bezenac
925 sterling silver, hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office. Not plate. Real silver, with the weight and permanence that implies.
The spheres are hand-turned in the UK from solid hardwood, each one finished with carnauba wax which is a natural, vegan-friendly wax that brings out the grain without artifice.
Available in bubinga (deep red-brown, dramatically grained), walnut (dark and cool-toned), or sycamore (pale, close-grained). Because every piece of wood is different, no two Gaia spheres are identical. Colours available vary by piece.
All orders are dispatched via Royal Mail Tracked and Signed or DHL. Free UK delivery on orders over £100. International flat rates are calculated at checkout based on weight and destination. Please allow 2 to 4 working days for in-stock pieces, or 3 to 4 weeks where a piece needs to be made.
International orders may be subject to import duties on arrival. EU customers, we're happy to advise before you order. Write to us.
We offer a 28-day return window on all pieces in their original, unworn condition. Write to us at hello@mysilverwood.co with your order number and we'll take care of it.
Your Silverwood piece is made to be worn for years.

The Craft
Every Silverwood piece begins as two separate things: sterling silver and wood. And becomes something neither could be alone. The making is precise and unhurried, carried out by the skilled craftsmen and jewellers I work with here in England. There is nothing accidental in the finished piece.
