When vines climb over gold, they leave the breath of the forest in the human world. The emerald’s intense green is a sweep of living colour that crosses the steel jungle; the diamond’s clarity is the warmest light of the morning falling into the book-lined forest. Every turn, every glance, is alive.

When we finished this pair of earrings half a year ago, it always felt as though there was still no photograph worthy of them. Until a few days ago, when we received a client photo. The twisted gold setting resembles the texture of 19th-century relief work, while the scattered diamonds are the candles of a ball that have not yet gone out. We have condensed the stillness and dignity of literature into a tiny space, and the client has given it the warmth of everyday life. We are delighted that this...
Its green is not a brightness that sits on the surface, but rather like the spring woods of Florence, sombre yet alive with vitality. The centre stone is a vivid emerald, its rich green seeming lifted from a Renaissance oil painting. The ring shank, paved with round diamonds, is like the dome motifs in Michelangelo’s work, reflecting delicate light against a warm gold base. The whole ring...
This K White and Emerald-Cut Royal Blue Sapphire Ring is Requested Every Time It Is Delivered. The emerald-cut blue sits steadily at the centre of the mount, while seamless princess-cut diamonds line the K white ring shank. It is like a page in a book that is turned to again and again, needing no adornment, simply remembered. Its presence is like the folded corner of a page in a collection of essays, not because...
Maupassant described the Grand Palais in Paris as “the glass dome lifting up the whole sweep of daylight, steel bones threaded with an artistic galaxy”. The 18k gold structure echoes the Grand Palais’ steel framework, while step-cut diamonds are arranged in classical columns, recreating the power of order and authority in architecture, like the pillars of ancient Rome bearing the justice of the city-state, shaping the authoritative outline of the ring shank; the centre emerald...
A six-carat emerald cut is set in an exceptionally simple form, as if the moss and shadows of a forest afternoon were cut into a rectangle. Paired with different rings for layering, the small diamonds are paved along the band like a star track, and the gold and white bands are staggered. It is the fashionable tone created by metal and diamonds, and it lives in colours and forms that step outside convention.
This time the theme is not renovating an old district, but a dangerous building restoration [doge]. The emerald that was almost shattered has been given new life. The row of matching small emeralds along the ring shank stretches the green intent of the centre stone even more clearly. The small diamonds on both sides spill light outward, and with a lift of the hand there is dazzling brilliance, cleanly stripping away any trace of “understatement”...
If you cannot choose between different diamond shapes, then simply put all the cuts together. To link marquise, pear, emerald cut, heart shape and more, the metal claws are made slender yet secure during setting. Every diamond’s position is repeatedly adjusted so the spacing appears even and the light passes through more uniformly. Jewellery crafts...
We spent one year and five months recreating this ring. The difficult path of study was full of tears [facepalmR]. From being the first in the entire internet to make it, to being the last to release it... thankfully, the result is gratifying. The subtle brilliance of this ring lies in its structure being fixed by two thin slices of agate. But agate lacks sufficient strength and breaks with the slightest touch. To understand this structure, we repeatedly tried, drilled...
Cool white diamonds are wrapped in a thin frost-like light, while a slender platinum chain drops at the neck in a crisp curve. The bottle body is left unadorned, save for an exquisitely elegant neck at the opening, as though all complexity has been folded into silence. It rests on the collarbone with a touch of casual distance, neither chasing the light nor longing for anyone’s attention. As light passes over the shoulders of the bottle, the ripples...
Another trombino - a century-old classic with an unmistakable charm. The yellow sapphire, emerald cut, blooms in a steady bright yellow, while long trapezoid and round diamonds are arranged in order, with a platinum mount as the base. Geometry outlines the form. When worn, it is the quiet meeting of reason and luxury, speaking at the fingertips of unforced sophistication.
This is a style that can be worn by both men and women. The emerald cut is the most understated and neat-looking of all cuts. The crystalline clarity of the old-cut diamonds is sharp-edged, clean and comfortable. Paired with round diamonds spaced between the settings, it gains a touch of liveliness and a little thoughtfulness. Worn alone, it suits a cool, refined temperament; layered with other rings, it is distinctive yet never...
How many possibilities can one centre stone have? Paired with bracelet components, it becomes a bracelet full of jewellery presence. Paired with necklace components, it becomes a highly distinctive choker. Could it even become a pendant or a ring? More possibilities are waiting to be discovered.
In Europe in the last century, the pinky ring was a symbol of power and status. Prominent families would wear their coat of arms as signet rings on the little finger. A hundred years on, the pinky ring is no longer exclusive to men. Princess-cut diamonds are set all the way around, dazzling while remaining comfortable to wear. P.S. Emerald is a top-level wealth-attracting stone for friends who lack Wood; it also helps ward off petty people...
What exactly is Royal Blue? This 2.2 ct emerald-cut Royal Blue sapphire is a textbook example. Perfect proportions, extremely high vitreous clarity, and a richly saturated colour create this sense of steadfastness and nobility. If gemstones are the soul of jewellery, then the setting form is its body. Compared with looking a little dull on the hand...
How many people are still watching the Paris Olympics opening ceremony [doge]? As early as the 17th century, eternity rings were popular among European royalty and high society. A timeless classic: a 50-point emerald cut, noble and cool. A young new aristocrat: a 50-point radiant cut, lavish and dazzling. Both are diamond rings weighing 11 carats, and in brand boutiques they are...
