The entire bracelet is crafted from white gold, with the semi-open bracelet band extending at both ends to form the toucan’s head and tail. The main body of the bracelet employs a two-tone design:
-
The toucan’s snow-white neck feathers are set with white diamonds using the snow setting technique.
-
Its back is paved with black spinels of varying sizes, creating a sharp color contrast with the white diamonds.
The designer emphasizes the toucan’s head:
-
The massive beak is sculpted from three pieces of citrine, with a crystalline transparency and perfect fit between adjacent stones, presenting a unique gradient effect.
-
The front tip of the beak is set with a custom-cut onyx, its rounded point appearing remarkably lifelike.
-
The top of the head is set with a custom-cut rubellite tourmaline, creating a strong visual impact.
The toucan’s eyes are two cabochon onyx stones, their deep black color full of lively spirit. Surrounding the eyes are “watttles” made from blue titanium, intricately textured to replicate a distinctive species characteristic. The outermost ring is encircled with tourmaline melee, reminiscent of vibrant feathers.
The tail feathers are rendered abstractly. The designer alternately uses black spinels, diamonds, and citrine to create layered feathers that blend seamlessly with the bracelet band.
