Tribute to Venice
Rays of sunshine streaming through three-mullioned windows lining the Grand Canal… Echoes of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons playing in the distance… The Tribute to Venice Necklace was born of a dream, a memory, a moment conjured by a quintessentially Venetian afternoon stroll. With its interplay of light and layered multicultural influences, this spectacular one-of-a-kind piece is an exquisite homage to Venice’s soul.

DOGARESSA’S DIAMOND
Initially conceived with all-white diamonds, as the necklace’s design progressed, it became clear that a larger, more spectacular stone was needed. The search for the perfect gem led to the introduction of color, and the main drop was transformed into a fanciful, intense yellow diamond of 15.50 carats.
The mystery and majesty epitomized by Carnival celebrations on the canals come elegantly alive in this graceful tribute to the Mediterranean’s floating crossroads. When worn, the fusion of elements representing Venice’s architecture and atmosphere conveys they city’s unique joy of living, radiating beauty and light.
The necklace is a tribute not only to Venice’s unique aesthetic magnificence but also to its rich history of cross-cultural artisanship. In this meeting place of artists and ideas, creative energy and sublime vision are as much a hallmark of the city as its legendary canals. Following in this tradition, the necklace took 1,400 hours to create, with the master artisans ensuring that each stone was set at the perfect angle to capture maximum light and bring out its brilliance.
