1.5 kilos of gold, three experienced goldsmiths and a whole day's work yield 3000 meters of Niessing necklace. Sounds like a simple math equation? Well, it's not! It takes many small, very labor-intensive steps to produce the Niessing necklace for Colette. It is made according to the ancient craft of wire drawing. The goldsmiths in the workshop master this discipline extremely well: they draw gold or platinum wire, again and again. With diamond tools they create a soft shine on the precious metal. For the perfect shape of the Niessing necklace, it is extremely important that the wire has a circular profile. Once the threads are ready, they are wound with the utmost care and precision around a transparent nylon core: this enhances the shine of the necklaces from within. Finally, each Niessing Colette receives a hand-polished ball.
