Completed in 2023, Liens d’Amour is a necklace made of ebony, 18kt yellow gold, and vivid orange-red coral. Produced in an edition of three, plus two artist’s proofs, the work encapsulates the sculptural vocabulary that defined Vari’s career, translated into a portable form that maintains the ambition, material presence, and formal integrity of her large-scale sculptures.
One of the most technically complex works Vari ever realised, Liens d’Amour required over six months of development to achieve controlled mobility. Its sophisticated construction allows the wearable sculpture to move fluidly on the body, reflecting her lifelong exploration of balance, gravity, and motion.
