Guldasta Polki Necklace Set

Floral throughout, and the petals are domed rather than cut from flat stock, which is what gives them their lift. Necklace and earrings share one motif, worked at two scales so they read as a pair without repeating exactly. The pearls run along the form, 140 of them, spaced so the metal still shows.

The stones are set the jadau way: gold softened over heat and worked up around each one, with no claw and no solder showing. The order matters, because once a stone is bedded the metal beside it cannot be reheated. The diamonds and pearls 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. 77.66g. Diamonds: 70 pcs. Pearls: 140 pcs. Tourmalines: 75 pcs, 100.08 cts. Polki diamonds. Made to order.
