Pink Core Diamond Necklace White Gold Ruby

The sections are graduated toward the centre, which is what keeps the piece sitting level. The surface is close-set: 285 diamonds with almost no metal showing between them.

That is 323 settings, cut and closed one at a time. The diamonds 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 White Gold. 43.12g. Diamonds: 285 pcs. Rubies: 38 pcs, 17.22 cts. Made to order.
