Ritualistic design

Replica of Temple of Love statues with funerary sarcophagus design.

70 cm chain gives pendant breathing room and allows layering over high necks for daily wear.

Fit

70 cm chain: pendant at mid-chest, collars clear, layering works.

Clasp

Snap hook closure is fixed at 70 cm and opens with one hand.

Scale

70 cm chain, 2-inch pendant: everyday edgy; Mega is statement.

Layering

Pair with a 40-50 cm fine chain to keep the pendant the focal point.

Body proportion

Length sits differently on each body; compare with a similar chain at home.

Closure

Snap-hook closure can be opened with one hand.

Care

Wipe after each wear and avoid moisture to slow plating wear.

One-handed use

Snap hook can be opened one‑handed for most users.

Durability

Palladium plating and brushing make patina intentional and hide wear.

Pendant heft

The 2-inch brass pendant is heavy enough to stay oriented and comfortable on the 70cm chain.

Patina

The clasp wears to reveal brass, brushed finish hides scratches, and patina mimics bronze.

Entry price

At $575 CAD, this is roughly half the price of the Mega Sister ($850), offering the same design heritage.

Materials

Palladium-plated brass pendant with brushed finish hides scratches and develops dark patina, heavier than Mega Sister's aluminum.

How the 27.5-inch length wears on different builds

• Because the 70 cm chain naturally clears crew and turtleneck collars, the pendant falls fully visible onto the chest—making it an unusually intentional pairing for high-neck knits and winter layers where a shorter necklace would disappear; for that reason, this necklace doubles as a cold-weather statement piece over a chunky sweater.
• The 70 cm chain places the 2-inch pendant below the collarbone, typically landing at mid-chest, creating a relaxed and expressive silhouette that elongates the torso—a length that works especially well over monochrome outfits, heavier knits, or sleek eveningwear, and prevents the sculptural pendant from feeling crowded against high collars.
• At 70 cm, this necklace naturally sits as the longest piece in a stack, allowing a 40–50 cm fine chain above it without visual competition; since the 2-inch sarcophagus pendant is already bold, keeping other necklaces simpler and spaced apart prevents a cluttered look and lets the Sister pendant remain the focal point.
• With a 2-inch sculptural pendant, the 70 cm chain provides the extra drop that larger, more architectural designs need to be seen properly; the brushed palladium finish reads more clearly and the sarcophagus shape feels composed rather than cramped, which is why this length reads as intentional rather than an afterthought.
• A listed 70 cm chain will not sit identically on every frame—height, shoulder width, and chest depth all shift where the pendant falls, so a buyer should expect it to land higher on a taller or broader build and lower on a smaller frame; checking against a similar-length chain at home helps avoid a placement that feels unusually high or low.
• The pendant is a direct replica of Rick Owens' Temple statues exhibited at the Musée Galliera in Paris, and the 70 cm drop translates that monumental scale into wearable form; the brushed palladium finish catches light as the pendant moves, giving the piece a museum-shop-meets-runway presence that distinguishes it from a standard pendant.

How palladium-plated brass ages and wears

• Brass naturally oxidizes to a dark charcoal-brown tonality, and as the palladium thins the pendant will shift toward the ‘gothic-style monochromatic’ palette that Owens’ work consistently explores — making the aging process a personal deepening of the brand’s visual world.
• The snap hook closure is the highest-friction point on the necklace, so it is the first area to reveal the brass base — this creates an asymmetrical patina that feels intentionally hand-touched, aligning with the raw, unpolished ethos that defines Rick Owens’ design language.
• The pendant replicates the temple statues from Rick Owens’ 2022 retrospective at the Palais Galliera in Paris, so the piece inherently reads as an artifact — as the palladium layer wears through, the emerging brass mimics the patina of excavated bronze, strengthening the archaeological reference and making the aging not a flaw but an extension of the narrative.
• The semi-shiny brushed finish scatters light and hides micro-abrasions, so the necklace maintains a consistent matte presence even as friction from clothing and skin begins to thin the plating at edges — unlike a high-polish surface where wear lines would be immediately distracting.

The Temple of Love exhibition and the Sister motif

• The pendant is explicitly described by the brand as 'sarcophagus-like', a silhouette that echoes the towering, ritualistic quality of the garden's brutalist monoliths and ties into a deeper strand of Owens' design language — the exhibition heavily featured references to Gustave Moreau's Salome and Joris-Karl Huysmans' Against Nature, underscoring a career-long fascination with ancient funerary and spiritual ritual.
