Introducing the De Beers Soothing Lotus Necklace
Unveiled in 2017 as part of the exquisite “Lotus” high jewelry collection, the De Beers Soothing Lotus necklace masterfully captures the serene beauty of a lotus pond at dusk. This breathtaking piece exemplifies the artistry of De Beers, transforming precious stones into a tranquil tableau.
A Symphony of Light and Color
The designer has employed a masterful mosaic technique, artfully arranging brilliant colorless diamonds alongside uncut fancy colored rough diamonds. This creates a stunning visual collage that evokes the peaceful ambiance of a sunset over a tranquil water body. The interplay of light and texture is truly mesmerizing.
Exceptional Craftsmanship and Design
This magnificent necklace is a testament to dedicated craftsmanship, featuring nearly 200 diamonds meticulously set over an impressive 1100 hours. At its heart lies a striking 6.06ct pear-shaped diamond, reminiscent of a dewdrop gently resting on the water’s surface. The surrounding necklace is a vibrant mosaic of yellow, brown, orange, green, pink, and colorless diamonds, mirroring the delicate hues of lotus leaves and blossoms.
The Rare Artistry of Rough Diamonds
The inclusion of over 50 rough diamonds in fine jewelry is a rare and distinguished design choice. This necklace boldly juxtaposes precisely cut diamonds with the raw, natural beauty of rough diamonds. The intrinsic simplicity and organic luster of the raw stones serve as a perfect counterpoint to the brilliance of the faceted gems.
Each diamond’s placement was thoughtfully considered by the designer to achieve the most harmonious visual balance, taking into account its color, shape, and size. This meticulous approach ensures a piece that is as captivating as it is unique.
Innovative Setting and Articulation
A closer inspection of the necklace’s reverse reveals an ingenious construction. Each diamond is set on its own individually crafted base, ingeniously paired with complementary metal prongs.
- Orange and yellow diamonds are set with classic gold prongs.
- Green and white diamonds are elegantly paired with platinum prongs.
- Brown and pink diamonds are embraced by warm rose gold prongs.
Furthermore, these individual settings are connected by a flexible articulated structure. This innovative design ensures the necklace drapes with unparalleled fluidity and gentleness against the skin, enhancing its wearability and luxurious feel.
