Mer Rope & Brass Choker Necklace

$95.00
ColorBeige
Details

Some pieces don't just sit around your neck — they say something about who you are. The Mer Choker is one of those pieces. Crafted by hand in Cape Town from soft rope and finished with artisan brass rings and a magnetic brass clasp, it carries a quiet, grounded elegance that works as easily with a linen shirt as it does with an evening dress. Available in Black and Beige, it's the kind of handcrafted accessory that becomes a daily essential. Part of the Mer collection by Pichulik, and available at Petite Protea.

Brass hardware.

Length: 16.125 in

Handmade in South Africa. Individually handcrafted, every piece reflects the artisan’s touch. Variations are not flaws—they’re part of what makes each creation uniquely yours.

Care Guide

BRASS
A natural patina will develop over time giving it a matte finish.
1. To remove dirt, use a brass cleaner like Brasso.
2. To finish, use our polishing cloth to remove patina and restore shine. Maintaining long up and down strokes to clean the jewellery. Be sure to use different parts of the cloth to avoid spreading any tarnish.

ROPE
Dip a clean cloth in a bowl with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild dish soap, and gently wipe.
