Sphene Necklace, 2020
The centrepiece of this necklace is a rare and unusual Madagascan sphene. Rare because of its size (16.75 carats) and unusual because of its ‘clean eye’ clarity. This gemstone has entrancing hues of bottle green, mature cognac and pale whisky accentuated by an intense brilliance (sphenes are second only to diamonds in this respect). It is is framed in a spectacular cluster of coloured diamonds set in yellow gold which echo and complement the multicolours of the sphene.
