THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GEM CUTTER AND JEWELRY DESIGNER IS ON FULL DISPLAY WITH THIS ‘WRAP’ RING, A PIECE THAT REQUIRES OVER A YEAR TO CREATE. THE INTRICACY LIES IN THE 6.68 CARATS OF TAPERED-BAGUETTE DIAMONDS, 88 IN TOTAL, INTENDED TO FIT TOGETHER LIKE MARQUETRY AND “WRAP” THE MAGNIFICENT 27.74-CARAT SUGARLOAF BLUE BURMESE SAPPHIRE LIKE FABRIC, WITHIN THE BRILLIANT GLEAM OF HIGH POLISH PLATINUM. THE RESULT IS EQUALLY ELEGANT AND UNIQUE, WHICH BELIES THE EXTRAORDINARY COMPLEXITY AND PATIENCE REQUIRED TO FABRICATE THE DESIGN.
