We're thrilled to unveil our collaboration with the extraordinary artist Laurie Lipton.
4 one-of-a-kind necklaces, each built around an original Laurie Lipton drawing.
LA LUZ
(Laurie Lipton, Graphite on paper, 2026)
(handmade sterling silver frame with freshwater pearl necklace & sterling silver broken femur cross)
La luz means “the light,” and here it is found in the most unexpected place: the shadow of a crowned skull. Laurie Lipton draws darkness the way others paint sunlight, patiently and with reverence, building each shade from countless fine strokes of graphite until the shadows seem to glow from within. Nothing about her work is rushed. Every line is a small act of devotion, and the result is an image that holds the eye and then holds the memory. In this original drawing, death wears its crown with a quiet, luminous dignity.
We answered her pencil with silver. The frame was shaped by hand, with a bezel of tiny cast skulls set side by side like a ring of watchful guardians, and a pair of crossed bones hanging below like a talisman. The drawing rests safe behind crystal glass, and a strand of lustrous pearls carries it to the heart, closed with a skull-tipped toggle clasp. Made by Ossua et Acroamata in collaboration with Laurie Lipton, La Luz is strictly one of a kind: one drawing, one frame, one keeper. When it leaves us, it will not come again.
Her impossibly detailed graphite work lives behind crystal glass, held in hand-fabricated sterling silver frames by Ossua et Acroamata.
