Green Grass White Lilies Diamond Necklace Set Yellow Gold Pearl

One composition across two pieces, which is a harder thing to balance than a single object.

812 diamonds, sorted and matched before a single one was set. The emeralds are graded against the diamonds for tone first. Stones that read correctly on their own can still fight when they sit together. A third stone enters at the margins, held back so it accents rather than competes.

1,050 settings, each cut and closed by hand. Work at that count is measured in weeks at the bench rather than days, and it is given to one setter so the tension stays even across the piece.

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.
