Mediterranean Muse
Necklace

Since Homer’s time, the Mediterranean’s legendary blues, blazing sun, and gleaming islands have enchanted the human imagination. Its shimmering currents gave rise to the Roman Empire, with the constant movement of people, ideas, and goods along its shores. The Mediterranean Muse necklace honors the spirit of the sea that inspired it. The soul of southern Italy, the source of all her luminous beauty and seductive power.

SIRENIC SAPPHIRE

HERITAGE OF COLOR

Nine light blue, pear-cut aquamarines totaling 34.63 carats contrast with the main sapphire, enhanced by nine round sapphire beads of 25.17 carats and square step-cut and pear brilliant-cut diamonds. Buff-top sapphires curl, wave-like, around the platinum neckline inlaid with step-cut, round brilliant-cut, and pavé-set diamonds.

Balanced yet as dynamic as the sea itself, the exceptional craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this work of unparalleled beauty, which took 1,600 hours to create. The drop design, which contrasts diamonds with sapphires and aquamarines, is meant to resemble the flow of the tide. Pavé diamonds are scattered and swirled with the gems to let light through, evoking the momentary glitter of sunlight reflecting on the waves.
