Now you C it, now you don't

Now you C it, now you don't: Yellow Diamond and Black Jade Pendant

This beautiful yellow diamond can be framed in two ways. A playful piece to give a different perspective however you wear it.

Cradle


Floeting® Diamond and Black Jade Pendant

 

Cradle: Floeting® Diamond and Black Jade Pendant in Yellow Gold | 0.50ct

The Floeting® Diamond is a world first. It made sense for the infant to nestle in a material that connects it to its roots and supports its growth – the Eyre jade the perfect medium.

Tapa

 

Tapa: Diamond and Black Jade Pendant in Platinum | 0.32ctw

Polynesian Tapa cloth inspired this piece. The intersecting cuts in the pattern were all carved by hand, not a machine, and the 5 triangular diamonds that total 0.32ct were specially cut to fit the pattern. They are windowed to allow the skin to shine through and connect the wearer to the jade and diamonds.

Zaha

Zaha: Brilliant Cut Diamond and Black Jade Pendant | 0.60ct  Zaha: Brilliant Cut Diamond and Black Jade Pendant | 0.60ct

Zaha Hadid was one of the greatest architects of our time. Her expressionist forms explored new techniques and perspectives, which inspired the overhanging geometric forms that separate but connect back through space.  

23 collection-grade brilliant cut diamonds totalling 0.60ct, Eyre Peninsula black jade and 18ct yellow gold.

Synaptic: Floeting® Diamond and Black Jade Pendant

The variegation of this piece of jade was chosen to showcase the natural colours caught in a geometric frame. The Floeting® Diamond sitting in space connects the diamond back to the landscape from where it came.
