Knight In Shining Princess Choker Set White Gold Diamond Pearl

Choker and earrings arrive as one composition, drawn together and made together.

1,000 pearls in one piece, each selected rather than ordered to a specification. 399 diamonds carry the colour, and the two are matched to one another before anything is set, which takes far longer than matching for size alone. A third stone enters at the margins, held back so it accents rather than competes.

1,462 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.

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.
