Serendipity

Extraordinary Jewels

“It’s all a series of serendipities

with no beginnings and no ends.

Such infinitesimal possibilities….”

-- Ana Claudia Antunes, The Tao of Physical and Spiritual

Exquisite diamonds and divine gemstones in the design lab inspire
pièce de résistance jewels. One-of-a-kind, exceptional pieces that
are visualised, designed and handcrafted as individual works of
art, inspired by the most beautiful moments in nature. To become
heirloom jewels, treasured for generations to come.

Three elegant jewel collections come together in a stunning
conceptual experience: the elegant and sophisticated Lumière,
the effervescent Mélange and the majestic Oeuvre. All within the
master line, Serendipity, comprising once-in-a-lifetime jewels that
may never be created again.

It takes but a serendipitous moment to discover something
extraordinary….

Making of the Jewels

The Serendipity limited-edition jewels are crafted after creative
visualisation and multiple iterations.

Hundreds of sketches are worked upon, of which one may
eventually be selected to be produced. Upon finalisation, the
artists create the gouache: a coloured rendering of the piece,
which must accurately capture what it will look like when finished
– from the exact depth and dimensions to the shades and facets
of the diamonds, and the way light will reflect off them to achieve
the maximum shine. Once the gouache has been approved by the
maison the design goes into precision sourcing and crafting.

Finding diamonds and gemstones to match the gouache can be
a painstaking process, to acquire the exact shades, shapes and
sizes. Precious metal, while adding impactful value to the jewel,
should be crafted with finesse to not overpower the sparkle of the
gemstones.





Master jewellers then model the framework of the piece, which
can be done in wax or by directly hand-c­ arving the design on a
plate of the base metal, usually gold. Setting the diamonds and
gemstones forms the key element in the masterpieces, where
the judiciously-chosen minimal metal holds the diamonds with
optimum strength with an ingenious blend of engineering and
creativity.

A jewel comprising 1,000 irregularly-shaped stones would take
about 400 hours at the stone-setter’s station, fresh off its 700-hour
journey with the master jeweller, not to count the time it takes for
sketches and gouaches to be drawn, painted and approved, and
gems to be sourced.

The final step in the process is the polishing of the jewel. In regular
jewellery collections, pieces are typically polished once finished;
however, jewels of this calibre are polished three to five times,
before and after a piece is set, and after it has been assembled,
including polishing the most remote parts, even those not visible
to the eye.

Unique designs, painstaking attention to detail, and exacting
craftsmanship are hallmarks of the intricate Serendipity line of
jewels.

“She revels in the beauty of the diamond
It speaks to her, striking a chord
The brightness is from within
Celebrating a depth,
Of her, about her.”

With fluid brushstrokes of light and brilliance, each jewel pushes

of brilliance. Each piece is handcrafted to showcase the natural
