Soft strokes of waking light
White clay holds a small round pendant, calm and bright at the base of the neck. A band of warm yellow brushes the surface like buildings catching the earliest sun. Below it, faint blue and soft grey stay almost hidden, like streets that have not fully woken yet. I kept the form simple so the colour could speak first. This white gold dawn necklace reflects that brief in-between moment when the air is crisp and still. The glaze gives a gentle sheen, clear enough to echo morning brightness without feeling sharp or cold.
Alboréa and the first hour
To me Alboréa carries the hush that hangs over a quiet city before people fill the pavements. In this white gold dawn necklace I wanted a balance between clarity and softness. Each brush of yellow pigment was placed in one slow gesture, leaving uneven edges that feel like distant rooftops. The cooler traces beneath bring a light, urban shadow, keeping the pendant from feeling too sweet. I shaped the disc in my hands until the curve felt easy. Then I smoothed the back so it rests comfortably against the skin. Every line and mark keeps a subtle, handmade rhythm.
Calm brightness for everyday starts
On clear mornings I reach for this piece when I want a small, steady glow near my collarbone. It pairs beautifully with a crisp white shirt, a tailored blazer or a simple knit in pale tones. I also love it with soft denim and trainers on days spent moving through cafés, offices and side streets. The necklace suits women who enjoy quiet detail more than loud statement pieces. There is energy in its colours, yet the round shape and clean background hold everything in calm order. Worn close to the heart, it keeps that first light quietly within your day. Alboréa feels like a reminder that each day can begin gently, even in the middle of the city.
Within the Urban Aura collection, I see Alboréa as the softest beginning. It carries the quiet hush just before movement, when the city is pale and spacious. For me this necklace marks the first, hopeful beat of the story, a bright intake of breath. It lets the stronger, more contrasted pieces feel grounded, giving the whole line a fresh, luminous opening note.
