The deep blue tones evoke the depth of sky and water, while the green brings the freshness of leaves and the natural world. Lapis lazuli adds a rich, earth-born presence, connecting the delicate lace to the beauty of natural stone. The dimensional pendant gives the traditional needle lace a sculptural quality, bringing an ancestral textile technique into contemporary wearable art. Hand-created in hairpin and needle lace, the piece is inspired by the Anatolian “Oya” tradition of transforming thread, color, and intricate stitches into wearable expressions of beauty, memory, and cultural heritage.
