The new creations continue the brand’s signature titanium craftsmanship, developed in collaboration with 12 European master artisans and reworked over 10 times. The artisans had to create large, curved folds fully set with gemstones on titanium metal a mere 1.77mm thick. Each brooch is set with an average of over 1500 gemstones, yet weighs only 22 grams, achieving the agile lightness of a real leaf.
The leaves are shaped into naturally curling forms, densely set with tsavorites to exhibit a translucent, fresh green hue. One long leaf brooch features a 7.85-carat pear-shaped emerald as its centerpiece, certified as being of Colombian origin. Its bright and rich green color evokes lush vitality. The other brooch centers around a 3.55-carat D-color, IF-clarity diamond. Cindy Chao skillfully integrates this primary stone within the artwork, making it an inherent part of the creation, where it scintillates in harmony with the surrounding diamonds.
The veins are crafted from photopolymer resin, vividly interpreting the organic texture of the leaf and showcasing Artist Cindy Chao‘s bold application of innovative jewelry materials. The base of the vein is accented with an emerald or a diamond, complementing the main stone.
