Gold Plated Vermeil Silver Quill Choker Necklace

Shaun Leane’s Quill choker necklace is fearsomely elegant, with an array of pointed spikes designed to imitate the sweeping curves of porcupine quills.

The untamed beauty of Shaun Leane’s designs draws inspiration from the claws, feathers and quills of the natural world, offering a beguiling combination of traditional goldsmithing techniques and ultra-contemporary styling. Sculpted to follow the gentle curve of the neck, this necklace is formed of a tapering circle of high-polished, gold plated vermeil silver quills – presented in subtly irregular sizes for a strikingly sculptural finish. Style it with a coordinating Quill cuff bracelet for a sleek, evening-ready curation that celebrates the dangerous beauty of the natural world.

“I admire the past masters who – with their style and craftsmanship – created fine jewellery that was distinctive of its time. I like to fuse elements of tradition with a contemporary design approach. We cannot look to the future of design without remembering our past.” – Shaun Leane
