About the Piece

Introducing Xerxes—a commanding necklace created for the regal and the rare. This unique piece features a hand-forged double chain in golden brass. The main chain, thick and sculptural, echoes the elegant forms of ancient Persian calligraphy—twisting, turning, and flowing like a language of power.

Encircling it is a finer chain interwoven with freshwater pearls, delicately trailing the golden structure with motion and grace. The juxtaposition of hard and soft—metal and pearl, force and elegance—creates a dramatic silhouette that commands attention.

The result is a necklace of undeniable presence. Xerxes wears like a crown for the neck—a statement of sophistication, opulence, and timeless mystique.

Care Instructions

Silver, Pearls & Hard Gemstones
Our sterling silver pieces set with natural pearls and gemstones can be worn in the shower. Solid chains and designs made with hard materials are also safe to sleep in.

Sculpted & Delicate Designs
Pieces with sculpted forms, crushed gemstones, seashells, or textured surfaces are more delicate—remove before bathing or sleep. Avoid steam, saunas, and excessive heat.

Brass & Mixed Metals
Although sealed with a protective coating, these are more sensitive to water. We do not recommend showering, sleeping in, or wearing them for days on end. If exposed to moisture, dry thoroughly to preserve the finish.

General Care
Store pieces separately in a soft pouch. Clean silver gently with a polishing cloth; avoid abrasives, especially on pearls and textured surfaces.

Lifetime Warranty & Service
Our Lifetime Warranty includes accidental damage repairs, restoration, and complimentary refresh & polish. Contact our atelier—each piece is handcrafted at the Surrealium atelier in Kastellet Fortress, Stockholm, and deserves mindful care.
