Designed as a gift for Mother's Day, the «Forever Macaroni» necklace features a single 14-karat yellow gold macaroni, suspended on a chain.
New York-Ring Concierge has partnered with Kraft Mac & Cheese. They took a children's craft and turned it into an adult keepsake for Mother's Day.
Many may remember tying dried pasta into string or yarn to make a necklace. It was a Mother's Day gift for the mother figures in their lives.
Now, the two companies have teamed up to update the nostalgic necklace. They've created a sleek, sophisticated keepsake in 14-karat yellow gold.
The limited edition «Forever Macaroni» necklace features a gold macaroni on a gold chain. It is packaged in a separate box with Kraft Mac & Cheese's signature royal blue colored Kraft Mac & Cheese.
Ring Concierge founder Nicole Wegman described the partnership as a «fun opportunity.» To redesign a staple children's product through the lens of fine jewelry.
«We wanted to take the playful spirit of the classic spaghetti necklace. And turn it into an elegant piece that could be worn every day,» she said.
«This collaboration combines nostalgia, luxury and style. It makes it the perfect piece for the fashionable mom or food lover in your life.».
Despite the fact that the price of gold is currently over $3,000 per ounce, Ring Concierge and Kraft are coming together to sell The Forever Macaroni for just $25.
Supplies, however, are not unlimited. Ring Concierge started selling the necklace on the 1st of the month. It is offered exclusively on the retailer's website. With a new, limited batch of gold macarons available at 12 p.m. Eastern time from May 1 to May 6.
While pasta and fine jewelry may seem like an odd pairing, they are not. But Ring Concierge isn't the first company to partner to create jewelry for those who want to make that carbohydrate connection.
In January 2024, Barilla reintroduced heart-shaped pasta before Valentine's Day. So it partnered with Alison Lou, who created a set of two rings called «Ring-a-Toni» for a special contest.
Before that, in 2017, Alison Lou released an entire pasta collection. The theme was «Mama Mia,» which the brand still sells.
Delicacies Jewelry, which makes «elegant jewelry for food lovers,» also did a collaboration with Barilla. It also sells pasta jewelry in all shapes, along with pasta, butter, baguettes, pickles and more.
