Releasing the radiance of diamonds has always been an essential part of the jeweler’s vocation. Mastering the art of light is a balancing act: precision and proportion are of the essence. The dazzling cuff bracelet presented here, created in 2013, is testimony to this. The pear shape of the central stone, a rare 63.66-carat D IF diamond, is repeated in the design, creating rhythm. In reverberating echoes, paved platinum elements alternate with rock crystal motifs engraved with radiating lines. The precious materials harmonize in a monochromatic palette of white. The pure, majestic color leaves an unobstructed path to light, which can be freely diffused; it glides from one rock crystal to another and bounces from one paved rib to another. Seeming to resonate, the pear-shaped diamond radiates with a halo that illuminates the entire piece.
The cuff’s highly technical construction offers the added feature of convertibility: the bracelet can be worn in two ways. The 63.66-carat diamond can be removed and replaced by a paved piece featuring a smaller pear-shaped central stone.
