Kizil – which means red in Turkish and once referred to the western cardinal point – is the name of this long necklace that offers a sparkling interpretation of a sunset on the sea. Its rows of white cultured pearls are punctuated by 15 square-cut rubellites of a pinkish purple, weighing a total of 45.09 carats. Remarkably matched, they contrast with the softness of the pearls and mother-of-pearl, alongside jewelry motifs that combine different diamond cuts (round, square, baguette and pear) in a glittering architecture. The association of forms and hues – endowing the piece with relief and vivacity – is accentuated by the cascade of five rubellite drops that adorns a central motif of Art Deco inspiration. An illustration of the Maison’s High Jewelry savoir-faire, the long necklace can be transformed into a short necklace or bracelets of majestic elegance.

Immediately captivating the gaze, the Goutte de spinelle ring combines dynamic movement with intense stones. With the surge of a wave, sparkling rows of diamonds and baguette-cut rubies wrap themselves around a 14.34-carat spinel with an elegant pear shape. A cavalcade of glittering bubbles highlights the curves and color of this central stone. From a family of gems renowned for their vivid brilliance, their hardness and their extraordinary range of tones, it displays an Indian pink of effervescent luster.
