The section stays constant the whole way round, so the piece reads the same from every angle.
728 diamonds, sorted and matched before a single one was set. 504 emeralds carry the colour, and the two are matched to one another before anything is set, which takes far longer than matching for size alone.
That is 1,232 individual settings. A single hand carries the whole run, because two setters will always close a grain slightly differently and at this density the eye catches it.
The design was resolved before the first stone was ordered, so the settings follow the drawing rather than the drawing accommodating the stones.
Available for private viewing at our Mumbai flagship and Nation Towers, Abu Dhabi.
