The handcrafted plates are made of porcelaine clay. The roughness of the surface reflects the structure of mother of pearl. The shimmering whiteness of the glazed porcelaine evokes associations with pureness and virginity, just as a pearl does.
The plates, slightly varying in size, are to be arranged to represent a pearlchain. In this constellation each piece stands for a friend or guest.
One single plate is made of gold-plated brass. It symbolises the necklace’s latch and thus, represents the host, responsible for the strong bonds of friendship within this intimate circle.
