Complete setAdjustable 45 to 90 cmAntique finish
In short: a build on a textile cord rather than a chain, with a range of adjustment from 45 to 90 cm / 18 to 35 in. Boxing glove in antique bronze, crossed laces in relief at the cuff, two-tone patina. 42 x 23 mm / 1.65 x 0.91 in at about 23 g / 0.81 oz, braided brown cord adjustable from 45 to 90 cm / 18 to 35 in. €19, free standard shipping.
The cord has no clasp: it runs on two sliding knots that travel along the returning strand. You put the necklace on over your head, then bring the knots together or apart to set the drop. That build, and nothing else, is what opens a range from 45 to 90 cm / 18 to 35 in.
A braided cord, not a chain
The pendant hangs from a braided brown cord, matte and supple. Two practical consequences: nothing metal touches the back of the neck, and there is no clasp to work one-handed behind your head. The look changes too — a textile cord goes with the patina on the glove where a bright chain would argue with it.
From 45 to 90 cm, what that allows
At 45 cm / 18 in the glove sits high, below the collarbone. At 90 cm / 35 in it drops low on the chest, and the cord can be doubled around the neck. Everything in between is available: the adjustment is continuous, not notched.
The two-tone patina
The bronze finish is aged: the raised areas — the top of the fist, the lace strands, the roll at the bottom — come up in light bronze, while the recesses and flats stay dark brown. The crossed laces are modelled in relief across the whole cuff in clean zigzags, and fine notches mark the seam on the side of the fist.
Dimensions
Technical specifications
Good to know: the cord is textile. Take the necklace off before the shower and the pool, and let it dry flat if it gets wet, like a shoelace. On the glove, a dry soft cloth is enough: the two-tone patina lives in the recesses, and polishing paste would bring everything back to one tone.

Frequently asked questions
How does the cord adjust?
On two sliding knots that travel along the returning strand. You put it on over your head, then move the knots together or apart to set the drop anywhere from 45 to 90 cm / 18 to 35 in. The adjustment is continuous and can be redone at any time, with no tools.
How big is the glove?
42 mm / 1.65 in tall by 23 mm / 0.91 in wide, about 23 g / 0.81 oz with the cord. The dimensioned drawing is in the gallery. At that size the crossed laces read from a metre / three feet away.
Is it suitable for skin that reacts to metal?
Everything in contact with the back of the neck is textile: the braided cord goes all the way round, and the metal is limited to the pendant, which rests on the chest.
What is an antique bronze finish?
A two-tone finish: the piece is darkened all over, then the raised areas are lightened back. The light stays on the top of the fist and the lace strands, the dark at the bottom of the recesses. It is what gives the glove the look of a found object rather than a new piece of jewellery.
Can it be worn doubled?
Yes, by setting the cord near its full 90 cm / 35 in: it wraps twice around the neck and the pendant then sits at sternum height. That flexibility is what a sliding-knot cord gives you over a fixed-length chain.
