A gentle luster that even exudes nobility. Jil Sander's bracelets and necklaces are made of eco-friendly brass. It is literally an ecological material, free of lead . It has also passed the nickel test for metal allergies. The body is treated with an anti-oxidant coating to prevent discoloration.
Another attractive feature of this collection, which was introduced last season and has already become the face of the accessories section, is the shape of the chains. Generally known as kihei chains, these chains are not as rugged as we imagine them to be, but are elegant in texture and form. A kihei chain is a chain in which the loops face the same direction, not in opposite directions. The smooth chain is reminiscent of the design of Japanese confectionery, such as "nerikiri" (a kind of paste made by pounding a piece of rice into a paste).
Since Lucy and Luke Meyer have a great respect for Japanese culture, the above impression may not be far off the mark.
The closure is a hook-opening type. The hook part is thinly engraved with a small logo. This casualness is also very attractive.
Necklaces of this type usually have a rugged appearance, but the natural finish of Jil Sander's necklace gives it a soft, elegant look.¥106,700
The bracelet, like the necklace, has this unadorned design. The hook part has a small logo stamped on it.70,400 yen
