Razor Blade Necklace
The Razor Blade Necklace is a work of deliberate tension: rawness rendered in sterling silver, danger transformed into beauty. Every element—the links, the chain, the pendant—is hand-forged, shaped through ancient techniques that leave subtle traces of the maker’s hand. The razor itself, at 1.5 by 0.75 inches, becomes both an object and an emblem: sharp in form, yet softened by its sculptural presence. A handmade clasp, Jelena Behrend’s signature, completes the piece with quiet authority.
The necklace entered popular imagination when it was chosen for Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Worn on screen, it became an extension of her character: uncompromising, unflinching, and unafraid. To this day, admirers of the film and its heroine continue to seek out the piece, drawn to the way it fuses defiance with elegance.
In the gallery of Jelena Behrend’s work, the Razor Blade Necklace stands as both adornment and statement—an artifact of craft, culture, and enduring fascination.
