This fabulous pendant is made of 7 individual concentric circles tied together like the 7 days of the week, or ‘semaine’ in French.
It is a modern interpretation of an ancient Eastern tradition. The charm of the Orient in a capsule range that I have called Scheherazade. Find other matching pieces of the range in separate listings.
Whether you like ancient traditions, are looking for a piece of jewellery with strong symbolism or simply love beautiful adornments that are slightly unusual, then this necklace is for you!
You will love the subtle glistening as the light plays and bounces against the various textures and curves of the pendant.
I have put it on a black velvet ribbon for a Victorian inspired look. You can adjust the length to fit your neckline. Fabulous on its own or layered. Wear it over a high neck top or to dress up that little black dress. You are sure to stand out and be admired !
Did you know that the number ‘7’ is considered the luckiest number in most religions and cultures? It is also the spiritual symbol of inner life.
Fully hallmarked by the London Assay Office.

Keep it in a box or pouch, ideally separate from your other jewellery to avoid scratches.
Safe to clean at home yourself. Unthread the pendant from the ribbon. Leave the pendant to soak in lukewarm water and mild soap for a few minutes. Don’t scrub or rub. Store completely dry.
I have long been fascinated by the ‘orientalism’ of the 19th century, and the ‘visions of the East by artists of the West’ as Christie’s defines it.
The Scheherazade capsule collection is my take on it, with pieces of jewellery that are relevant to today’s lifestyles but still convey the charm of the Orient wih its fascinating exoticism, opulence and rituals steeped in time.
Available in solid precious metals, the range focuses on the traditional ‘Semainier’ design and the symbolic number ‘7’.
‘Semainier’ is the French word for ‘week’, and all the pieces are made of 7 individual rings tied together with a permanent ribbon link like the 7 days of the week.
Did you know that each metal and stone has a spiritual meaning and healing properties?
Silver provides a steadying influence. It performs a balancing act by drawing negativity from the body while transferring the positive energies of other minerals.
