ReCollected Jérémie Barthod Contemporary Sculptural Necklace

Part of ReCollected, Kulturnest's private collection of pre-owned, never-worn and vintage pieces, this sculptural necklace was created by French jewellery designer Jérémie Barthod, whose work explores the meeting point between contemporary art, craftsmanship and wearable sculpture.

Hand-formed from coiled stainless steel wire with contrasting brass-toned fittings, the necklace culminates in an organically woven spherical form that cradles a luminous freshwater pearl. Inspired by natural structures and industrial materials alike, the piece transforms simple elements into an expressive, architectural composition.

Purchased several years ago and preserved in never-worn condition, this necklace exemplifies Barthod's distinctive approach to contemporary jewellery - minimal, tactile, and sculptural. Rather than following seasonal fashion trends, his creations are produced in small quantities and are appreciated as collectible design objects.

The original packaging is not included.

Condition: Pre-owned, never worn. Excellent condition with only natural patina consistent with the materials.

Care

Avoid contact with perfume, oils, hairspray and cosmetic products. Store separately in a dry environment and wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing. The natural patina of the metal is part of the character of the piece and should not be polished aggressively.

ReCollected is Kulturnest’s private collection of pieces gathered gradually over the years and kept in storage until now. It brings together previously acquired, never-worn, never-used, and archival items that were selected for their design, character, craftsmanship, or simply because they felt worth keeping. They are not second-hand pieces as they have not entered circulation at all. They have been collected in different countries, preserved, and quietly waiting. By bringing them back into view, ReCollected extends the idea of circularity beyond reuse. It is also about looking again at what already exists, releasing pieces from storage, and allowing carefully kept objects to finally find a place in someone else’s life.
