Cabochon Column by Alexis Badiyi | Object II

Alexis designed three objects as part of our Chantelaine Capsule—pieces intended to be worn around the neck, held in the hand, pinned to the body, or styled however you choose. Each may be worn individually as a singular statement or layered in combination. Together, the works explore adornment as both utility and emotional anchor: objects worn not simply to decorate, but to hold, protect, and empower.

The Cabochon Column draws from lipstick cases, lighters, and vials — opening and closing with a dark green topaz sugarloaf crowning the form, a linear motif running throughout. 

Each piece is handmade in New York City with a lead time of 4–6 weeks.
