Short Monkey on Banana 18K Gold and Silver Necklace

Jewelry designer Bibi van der Velden describes her pieces as “miniature sculptures.” Launched in 2006, the Dutch brand uses the natural world as inspiration for beautifully unexpected creations.

Embellished with white and brown diamonds, a tiny monkey in 18k rose and yellow gold with sterling silver lounges on a lemon quartz banana in this necklace design. Sitting on the collarbone, the short 40cm chain features yellow gold bananas set along its length.
