My client has become the recipient of some jewelry inherited from her grandmother. One piece in the collection is this Amethyst ring set in 18k yellow gold. While it is a beautiful antique ring, it is something she would not necessarily wear.
Ms. Davies came to me with her Grandmother’s jewelry with the purpose of redesigning the pieces into something that would complement her unique style and personality. I took inspiration from her love for amethyst and diamonds to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
I made a quick sketch of ideas for this necklace. My client did not already own any long necklaces, so I created a sautoir to add to her personal collection. The centerpiece of this sautoir necklace is a stunning emerald cut Amethyst, which happens to be a favorite stone for Ms. Davies. The vibrant purple hue of the Amethyst is accentuated by the four small diamonds that will be carefully placed in each corner of the mounting. The contrast between the rich Amethyst and the sparkling diamonds will create a dazzling effect that is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it.
To add a bit of vintage elegance, I added tassel details to it. The tassel detail has small accent diamonds on each to lend sparkle, sophistication, provide visual interest and will move gracefully with the wearer. The necklace tassel is finished with 1mm snake chain, which is the perfect complement to the sautoir design. Snake chain is soft and sleek while adding a more modern touch to the necklace while maintaining the classic elegance of the piece. The chain is also lightweight and comfortable to wear, making it perfect for everyday use…and not worn solely on special occasions.
With my custom design business, I believe that every piece of jewelry should be as unique as the person who wears it. That’s why I specialize in creating custom designed pieces that are tailored to the client’s preferences. Ms. Davies’ sautoir necklace is just one example of the kind of personalized and unique jewelry that I design.
If you are looking for jewelry that is as unique as you are, I can assist with bringing your vision to life. Please contact me when you are ready to schedule a consultation and start creating your own custom designed jewelry.
