Red Ruby Flower Cluster Necklace White Gold Diamond

The stones are clustered to read as one mass rather than as individual settings. The line falls and gathers weight toward the centre, which is where the design resolves.

202 diamonds in one piece, each selected rather than ordered to a specification. The rubies are graded against the diamonds for tone first. Stones that read correctly on their own can still fight when they sit together.

398 stones, seated one at a time. The spacing is what takes the hours, not the setting itself.

The composition is floral, and the blooms are opened to different degrees so the repeat never reads mechanical. Nothing here is applied after the fact. The structure and the ornament were drawn at the same time, which is why the piece has no unresolved back.

Available for private viewing at our Mumbai flagship and Nation Towers, Abu Dhabi.
