This gem is about to become a piece of jewelry. But how is a jewel born? In this short video we show you the moment where everything begins: the stones laid out one by one on the design sheet, before they become a choker and four rings.
An Energetic, Hidden, Mysterious Image
We like to imagine the gem in an energetic, hidden and mysterious way: a jewel that is anything but obvious and does not reveal itself at first glance. The design is a calculated, geometric arrangement of precious gems, combined in a harmonious, floral way.
On the sheet, the stones are placed with tweezers, one at a time. This is the moment the project moves from idea to composition: you see how colors and shapes speak to each other before the jewel is even built.
The Stones in the Project
In this composition we played with six different stones:
- Morganites: beryls in a delicate pink.
- Sapphires: they don’t only come in blue, but in a great many colors.
- Tourmalines: a family of gems with a very wide range of colors.
- Topazes: stones found in a variety of shades.
- Peridots: the gem that exists only in green.
- Diamonds: the points of light in the composition.
If tourmalines intrigue you, discover our page dedicated to Paraiba tourmalines, or the story of Tanzanite, another stone whose color hovers between blue and violet.
A Choker and Four Rings, Each One Different
From this composition a wonderful choker will be born and, alongside it, four rings: each different from the others, yet all part of the same design. The project will take shape over the coming months and we will tell its story step by step.
