Artisans crafted the Sea Turtle transformable brooch over a span of nearly 900 hours, setting the platinum and 18k yellow gold design with a cushion-cut diamond of over 4 carats and rose-cut and round brilliant diamond accents of over 26 total carats.
‘The expertise of our craftspeople is especially evident in the Sea Turtle chapter, where the turtle’s geometric, graphic shell is adorned with hexagons, each formed by 24 delicately hand-engraved petals. Each piece demands more than 550 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in hypnotic volume and texture.’
