Venyx × Man Ray: Glass Tears Necklace
Designed by Eugenie Niarchos for Venyx World, this octagonal white gold pendant necklace interprets Man Ray’s Larmes (Tears, c. 1932). The iconic Surrealist photograph—a close-up of a model’s upturned face, with glass beads standing in for her tears—channels the melodrama of silent film. Recreating the weeping eye of Man Ray’s work in intricate detail, this piece is crafted in mother-of-pearl, diamonds, enamel, and black rhodium.
The Gagosian Shop is the exclusive retail partner for the Venyx × Man Ray collection. Each limited-edition piece is made to order; the lead time for the Glass Tears Necklace is ten weeks.
