The Lena Cognac Star Necklace

Named for Lena Horne, Lena’s rich amber tones and crisp star silhouette take their cue from the warmth of her voice and the precision of her phrasing. Cognac and champagne hues meet the faintest pear-green, an unexpected pairing that gives this ornate composition its distinctive character.

The star-shaped pendant brings pale, expansive facets together with a finely detailed amber-colored border. Marquise and pear-shaped stones radiate around a round center, their delicate green cast set into relief by the deeper tones surrounding them. The arrangement balances the clarity of a defined silhouette with the intricacy of its individual settings.

Along the strand, smoky amber faceted glass, cognac-hued lampwork glass, pale-gold Preciosa crystals, and warm orange crackle quartz extend the pendant’s warmth. Within the lampwork beads, mocha, cherry-red, and whisky-toned swirls move beneath the surface, recalling a cherry turning in a glass of bourbon. Hints of pale pear-green mingle among them, echoing the star’s delicate color. The crackle quartz adds scattered shimmer, its fine internal fractures catching the light.

Lena brings supper-club glamour to Cocktail Hour, with the promise of music, conversation, and an evening worth lingering over. Take a cue from our styling: a shimmering cocoa-toned dress, gathered at the waist, and a patterned headscarf. The fabric’s fluid drape and subtle sheen set off the star’s geometry and concentrated sparkle.

A beautiful gift for someone who delights in unusual color and the expressive glamour of vintage-inspired jewelry.

One of a kind, never remade.
