Beate Klockmann’s

Beate Klockmann’s necklace demonstrates a meticulous harmony between geometry and organic materiality. Composed of twelve hexagonal stones, each attached to one another by a warm-toned metal. The piece balances repetition with the subtle variation of natural banding in the stone. The linearity of the hexagon form is softened by the warm, earth-toned translucency of the stones, likely agates, each bearing its own internal pattern of striations that shift with the light.

The clasp, a sculptural hexagon within a hexagon, reflects Klockmann’s emphasis on cohesion and thoughtful detail. It is not merely functional but contributes to the visual rhythm, punctuating the necklace with a final note of architectural clarity.

Klockmann’s work often investigates the tension between precision and imperfection, and this piece is no exception. The clean, calculated geometry of the metalwork contrasts beautifully with the unpredictable mineral variations, offering a wearable meditation on structure and spontaneity.
