Artisan Bloom Pearl Emerald Gold Chandbali

Floral throughout, and the petals are domed rather than cut from flat stock, which is what gives them their lift. A chandbali is a crescent hung from a stud. The arc is wide enough to catch light along its full length and hinged so it moves. 152 pearls follow the line of the piece rather than filling it.

That is 172 settings, cut and closed one at a time. The pearls and emeralds are matched for tone before anything is set, which takes longer than matching for size. 22KT gold is soft to work and unforgiving to finish.

22KT Gold. Pearls: 152 pcs, 8.1 cts. Emeralds: 20 pcs, 4.2 cts. In stock.
