Atelier Swarovski x Peter Pilotto "Arbol" Rose Gold-Tone Crystal Sculptural Choker

Peter Pilotto and his partner Christopher de Vos brought their runway signature — strong color in geometric arrangement — to Atelier Swarovski in 2016, and the ‘Arbol' collection is where that language became jewelry. This is the open choker: a sculptural rose gold-toned frame carrying crystal in squares, circles and petal forms, asymmetric by intention, its two pendants deliberately unmatched. It sits against the throat rather than hanging from it, and it is the whole of an outfit rather than a part of one. It measures 12 inches along the inside neckline, not counting the pendant portion, with a little flex for a slightly larger neck — clearly a choker, and cut for a smaller neckline. The left pendant is 1 5/8 inches wide and 1 5/8 inches tall; the right is 1.75 inches wide and 1 5/8 inches tall. New and unworn, from a collaboration that was hard to find new in its own season and harder now.
