The Odò necklace
“the river, behind one’s back”
640 hours, recorded · one of one · gouache No. 12
Odò is the river — and rivers do not face their audience. Eleven hexagons of Jos Plateau aquamarine fall in a single line down the spine, each framed in pavé, ending in a kite-cut diamond that rests where a clasp would ordinarily hide.
It is worn to the nape, as titles are: behind one’s back. The founder cut the stones over four months and refused three of them at the last sitting. There is one, and there will not be another.
