This reversible choker is one of those pieces that feels effortless but still totally special. On one side you get the iridescent abalone shell, flashing blues, greens, and purples. Flip it over and you’ve got smooth, glowing mother‑of‑pearl — soft, creamy, and classic. Two completely different moods in one necklace.
John’s been creating art and jewelry since the 60s, and in the 80s he pioneered electroforming in silver and gold — the technique that gives his pieces those flowing, organic lines. What makes this choker even more meaningful is that he stopped making electroformed jewelry in 2020 because the materials needed for the process are no longer available. That means pieces like this aren’t just beautiful — they’re truly irreplaceable.
The silver wraps around the shell in that soft, sculptural way only electroforming can create. It sits close to the neck, giving it a clean, modern feel while still keeping all the natural shimmer of the ocean.
reversible design — abalone on one side, mother‑of‑pearl on the other
pure silver electroforming — a technique John can’t use anymore
ocean‑inspired color with a soft, luminous flip side
handcrafted by a lifelong artist
