Taking the mariner link from chain element to standalone pendant requires making it large enough to work as a focal point - which means volume. Rachel Zoe solves this with a puffed, sculptural interpretation: the mariner link form in three dimensions in 14K gold over sterling silver, with a row of cubic zirconia running along its surface for sparkle. The puffed form catches light across its contours; the CZ adds directed brilliance. On a 16-inch cable chain with lobster claw clasp and extender, the pendant sits at the collarbone - the right drop for something with this much presence. A piece that bridges the chain jewelry trend and the pendant moment without being reducible to either.
