A coin necklace that does not weigh you down, does not shine too much, and works with everything you already own.
The Dinara necklace uses the oldest structure in folk jewellery: coins hanging from a cord. A design that appears in Morocco, in India, in the Balkans and in the Brazilian sertão — always the same, always the same logic of storing value on the body.
Here that design comes in aged silver-tone metal, without a mirror polish. The embossed coins overlap in a narrow curve, separated by small washers that let each one move on its own. The result is a small fan that follows the body's movement and produces a discreet sound as you walk.
Rising from both sides, chiselled metal tubes give rhythm and structure to the cord, and prevent the loose-pendant-in-a-void look.
All of this runs on a brown leather cord, thin and round, that falls well and ages with wear. The clasp has an extender, letting you wear it in two lengths in the same piece: closer to the base of the neck, or a little lower, over the collarbone.
The aged finish is what makes the difference day to day. A polished coin necklace takes all the attention of the outfit. This one does not: it reads as an everyday piece, not an occasion piece.
Why you will love the Dinara necklace
- Matte, aged metal: presence without becoming the subject of the look.
- Brown leather: a warm neutral that talks to khaki, ecru, off-white, chocolate, olive green and black.
- Loose coins: each one moves independently, bringing the piece to life with every step.
- Light: the construction is thin metal and leather. Comfortable to wear all day without noticing.
- Adjustable length: the extender opens up two wearing heights.
- Works over a shirt: one of the few maxi necklaces that works over a buttoned shirt, because the fan is narrow and does not clash with the collar.
How to wear it
- Over a plain shirt, with the first two buttons open and the fan resting in the opening.
- Over a round-neck knit in a neutral tone — the matte metal stands out effortlessly on a khaki or ecru background.
- With a leather belt in the same tone, to close the look with two points of leather instead of one.
- In layers: the short length lets you wear the Dinara with a longer necklace underneath, as long as the second is thinner and more discreet.
Where to wear it
- Work and meetings, over a shirt or plain knit
- Weekend, travel and market
- Informal dinner, over a solid-tone dress
- Minimalist outfits in earth tones
