Case Studies: Essentials

Be it the perfection of hundreds of matching minute prongs, the proportionality examined down to the 1/10 of a millimeter or the flawless execution of a single stone setting, each of these commissioned pieces is an example of the age old adage “That there is more here than meets the eye”

Essential Three

 

14k White Gold Hoops with 4.38tcw. of Diamonds. $28,000

What makes this a Case Study:

  • For most women, 8 grams is about the maximum weight they can tolerate before an earring becomes uncomfortable. To hold to this weight we had to examine every way we could save weight which included switching to 14k White Gold for its lightness as well as it is structurally stronger than 18k White Gold which was important because we made them as thin as possible.

  • Precisely matching 160 2.0mm diamonds to the 1/100 of a Millimeter to maintain linear lines.

  • Working with the proportions of the clients face so as to have the hoops have impact but not overwhelm her face.
