The bracelet creates two contrasting visual spaces. One area uses traditional Eau-Forte etching to depict tumultuous waves. The process begins by coating the white gold surface with an acid-resistant wax layer, then carving wave patterns into the wax. The bracelet is immersed in acid, producing powerful, defined contours. Details of the surf are then enhanced through spray painting and laser printing, and the scene is sealed with a varnish, freezing the moment of waves crashing over the black sand.
The other space is set with round brilliant-cut diamonds in a snow-set arrangement, producing dazzling fire that contrasts sharply with the black-etched section. This interplay elevates the bracelet from jewelry to a piece of wearable art.
The entire piece required 900 hours to complete.
