Summer Fossil Necklace — Essence of Summer

A lightweight, fresh, and rustic combination that joins the softness of Indian silk with real reliefs from the coast.

Your ideal accessory for sunny days

There are pieces that perfectly capture the spirit of the warmest months of the year. This summer fossil necklace has been designed to become that comfortable and lightweight summer necklace that you don’t take off all season. With a subtle design and a very pleasant touch, it is the perfect choice to wear alone or to create compositions by layering it with your favorite chains at different lengths.

The central piece consists of a small 925 sterling silver medal with a meticulous marine texture. It is not an abstract computer-designed pattern; the relief of each medal is taken directly from real elements that I collect on the coast. Through casting techniques in the workshop, I transfer the texture of these shells and marine remains to the metal, simulating the rough, eternal, and unique appearance of small fossils. This brings that imperfect and organic character that defines authentic handcrafted marine jewelry.

You can choose your amulet among 4 real textures from the sea:

• Sea shells: Two of the designs capture the classic, grooved, and timeless relief of traditional beach shells.

• Crab house: A unique texture that reproduces the lattice and curves of the small shells that hermit crabs use as a home.

• Sea urchin skeleton: A fascinating geometric and organic relief, taken directly from the domed and dotted surface of a sea urchin.

Earthly colors in recycled sari silk

The band holding the pendant is handcrafted using recycled sari silk, the traditional dresses of India. By repurposing these rich textile garments through the principles of the circular economy, we give a second life to a fabric full of history, ensuring that each ribbon has nuances, tones, and subtle fraying that make it completely unique.

You can choose between different shades inspired by Mediterranean nature through our selector. The closure is fully adjustable by a back knot or tie, allowing you to wear it fitted around the neck like a choker or a bit looser, depending on what your body asks for each day.

Commitment to conscious craftsmanship

At Joia Wild, we craft each summer necklace locally and on demand in our workshop in Spain. We advocate for respectful production that avoids overstock and the waste of raw materials. By choosing this piece, you support a responsible, zero-kilometer jewelry model that pampers the environment.

How to care for your silk and silver necklace?

By combining a natural textile element with precious metal, this necklace requires a few simple care steps to stay as perfect as day one:

• Avoid sea and pool water: Take it off before bathing to protect the tone and delicacy of the silk.

• Pay attention to creams and perfumes: Apply cosmetics and perfumes a few minutes before putting on your necklace to avoid chemical stains on the fabric.

• Gentle cleaning: If the silk gets dirty, you can wash it carefully by hand using lukewarm water and a drop of neutral soap, letting it air dry stretched out in the shade. For the medal, here we explain how to care for your silver jewelry.
