Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Nightingale, this transformable long necklace contains a bird nestling at its heart, artfully hidden in the central jewelry motif. A diamond door slides open to reveal a carved nightingale against a background of sapphires and buff-topped emeralds.

This art of metamorphosis also finds expression in the piece itself, which can be worn in three different ways: one long and two short. The various configurations give free rein to an ensemble of colors and motifs evoking Asia. The association of onyx, cultured pearls and emeralds underscores the rich red of the Burmese ruby beads. The traditional graduated stringing technique showcases the varying dimensions and charm of these antique materials, weighing a total of 567.14 carats.
