Product Details: The "I Dissent" Filigree Collar Necklace:

This necklace draws inspiration from the dissent collar worn by Ruth Bader Ginsburg during her tenure as a Supreme Court Justice. Entirely hand-fabricated in 940 Argentium silver by jewelry artist Michelle Lierre, it features alternating filigree panels and perfectly balanced stone settings arranged in a fan-like design. Each tiny piece of swirling filigree was meticulously hand-formed, fitted into place, and soldered together with a torch. Stamped on the top inside edge of the collar is the powerful phrase, "I Dissent." This one-of-a-kind piece hangs from a sterling silver chain, secured with a handmade swirling hook clasp to securely fasten it.

The pendant measures approximately 4 inches in width and 2.5 inches in height, while the full piece, including the chain, offers three versatile lengths: 19 inches for a long style, 18.5 inches for medium length, and 17.75 inches for a shorter wear option.

Vote for Michelle's Design: Michelle's piece is also part of the concurring MJSA Responsibly Sourced Design Challenge. You can vote for Michelle's design as your favorite from October 1-31st, 2024.

Michelle is the owner and designer of Lierre Filigree, based in Mount Vernon, Washington.
