HORTENSE
Late summer, worn close to the skin.
Natural, untreated AA multi-tourmaline of Nigerian origin, in dusty rose, deep green, amber and wine. Tiny micro-faceted rondelles, approximately 3.25–3.5 mm, with subtle irregularity in shape and surface, each stone retaining its own individual character.
Dusty rose, deep green, amber and wine move around the neck in shifting intervals. Never uniform. Never repeated.

About 14k gold-filled
14k gold-filled — real 14k gold permanently bonded in a substantial layer to a base metal. Far more durable than ordinary gold plating.
Photography Note
Natural tourmaline reveals different nuances in sunlight and shade. Its colours may appear darker, softer or more translucent depending on the light.
Camera settings and screen displays may also affect how colours appear. Close-up and macro photography can make the stones appear larger than their actual size.
HORTENSE · FLAME Atelier
Tiny Songbirds — fragments of sky, shaped in flame.
Each micro-sculpture is formed one breath at a time —
a quiet rebellion against mass-made beauty.
No moulds. No duplicates.
Just a bird small enough to hide in the palm,
yet strong enough to speak to the heart.
A symbol for those who feel deeply
and carry their inner sky with courage.
