Forest Carving Diamond Choker White Gold Amethyst

It sits high and closed at the throat, so the whole design is read at once rather than followed down.

1,105 diamonds, sorted and matched before a single one was set.

1,105 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. At 143.77 grams the piece has to be built hollow where it will not be seen, or it could not be worn for long.

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.
