The Txakoli Necklace
Limited edition, hypoallergenic zamak gold bar custom made in Menorca, electroplated in 1 micron of 18k gold or with 5 microns of sterling silver and freshwater pearl necklace. It measures 45cm in length and has a clip clasp.
Txakoli is one of my favourite white wines, it tastes like the aftermath of a wave crashing with its light bubbles. It´s a local grape that grows on the green rolling hills behind San Sebastian´s coastline. Records of its trade date back to the 16th Century. There´s nothing better than a Txakoli and some Pintxos after a swim.
Zamak is an alloy blend of zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper which makes it suitable for sensitive skin types, very durable and great for silver and gold plating. These bases were made to order on the beautiful Belearic Island of Menorca by a family run studio that started back in 1945. I like to keep my designs as Spanish and local as possible.
