Violette Coeur Diamond Choker Set Yellow Gold Pearl

The neckline and the ear carry the same idea at two scales.

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

658 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.
