Seraphina Diamond Necklace Rose Gold Emerald

The line falls and gathers weight toward the centre, which is where the design resolves.

553 diamonds in one piece, each selected rather than ordered to a specification. 1 emerald carries the colour, and the two are matched to one another before anything is set, which takes far longer than matching for size alone.

That is 554 individual settings. A single hand carries the whole run, because two setters will always close a grain slightly differently and at this density the eye catches it.

The composition is floral, and the blooms are opened to different degrees so the repeat never reads mechanical. 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.
