OUTSTANDING ELEGANCE, COLOUR AND MOTION: WE'RE OBSESSED WITH THE MOVING GLIMPSE OF GOLD BEHIND THE RED & DEEP PINK. ALSO, WITH THESE 401 UNTREATED BURMESE RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES (~30 CARATS), WHO'S EVER GOING TO SAY NO TO YOU?


A COLLECTOR’S MUST BECAUSE the use of untreated rubies and pink sapphires from Myanmar is exceptionally rare and desirable — especially in such generous quantity and in a sophisticated 1950s design.

STYLE: Bold and brilliant. This necklace sits elegantly along the collarbone and radiates vivid colour through impeccably matched stones. Pair it with structured eveningwear for a look that commands attention, or layer over a simple blouse for a surprisingly modern twist. In the Gallery you will see the impact of this necklace when worn against black silk.
