A white Christmas tree painted on natural nacre — tiny dots of snow and light resting on a softly glowing baroque pearl.
Winter Tales Collection 2025 · Available
Xmas Candy Tree No.2 · Winter Lights
A quiet winter tree, stripped back to white and light — like a silhouette standing in fresh snow just before the evening stars appear.
Created for the Winter Tales Collection, this piece focuses on
the calm side of the holidays. Instead of bright colours, the tree is
painted in soft whites and gentle highlights, letting the natural
iridescence of the baroque pearl play the role of winter sky.
The pearl’s surface holds warm undertones that shift between cream and
silver-blue as it moves, so the tree never looks exactly the same twice.
It feels like a minimal, modern Christmas card you can wear — simple,
clean, and quietly festive.

The Collector's Story
This white Christmas tree began as a sketch of negative space — a tree drawn not with heavy colour, but with the suggestion of snow and light. The pearl already carried its own quiet glow, like a winter window at dusk.
I painted the branches in thin strokes, letting the baroque curves decide where the tree should lean. The scattered dots are both snowflakes and tiny ornaments, depending on how you look at them. It felt important to leave enough space for the nacre to breathe.
I think of this pendant as a small pause in the middle of the holiday rush: a moment of stillness, of standing in the snow and simply watching the lights come on. It is made for someone who loves Christmas, but loves the quiet parts of it even more.
