Swan Locket Necklace

Albedo, Janja Prokić’s new collection, is inspired by the horizon – a thin line where water meets the sky, where it is not entirely clear what belongs to one and what to the other. This moment between two worlds became the starting point for the collection. The name Albedo comes from the Latin *albus*, meaning white, and in alchemical tradition refers to the stage of whitening. It represents a state between what has disappeared and what is yet to come.

The swan embodies this idea: a creature moving between water and air, combining strength with lightness. The collection portrays an adult swan, its cygnet, and the constellation Cygnus, whose nebulae give birth to new stars, symbolically connecting the collection to the emergence of something new. The theme of relationships and connection is further explored through opening jewelry pieces, whose meaning remains partly concealed, revealing itself primarily to the wearer.

Akoya pearls play a prominent role, their spherical shape reminiscent of a full moon, alongside Mozambican rubies in a rich pigeon blood hue, moonstone from Sri Lanka, and morganite, known as the stone of relationships. The collection is complemented by Top Wesselton VS brilliant-cut diamonds.

Albedo is a collection about the boundary between two worlds, about transformation and relationships that endure. About a moment on the horizon when it is still unclear where one ends and the other begins.

To touch the horizon

with an outstretched finger

so that, once again, for a moment

it appears

and disappears.

in a tremor

it transforms

into the beautiful swan’s

feather

falling

Caressed by half-closed eyes

water and air gently intertwine

by the shore

tenderness

it seeks

Born silver-brown

nourished by milky pearls.
