Shabnam Pearl Polki Choker

The links are graduated, widest at the centre and narrowing toward the clasp, which is what keeps a choker sitting level. 410 pearls cover the face, set tight enough that the ground reads as stone rather than metal.

Jadau setting means the gold is warmed and pressed around each uncut stone rather than gripped by claws. Every stone has to go in before the piece cools past working temperature. The pearls and rubies are matched for tone before anything is set, which takes longer than matching for size. 18KT gold holds the settings rigid where 22KT would move.

18KT Yellow Gold. 30.15g. Pearls: 410 pcs. Rubies: 53 pcs, 157.44 cts. Polki diamonds. Made to order.
