Materials aside, there’s a reason some pieces of vintage jewellery are unforgettable. It comes down to design.
This piece which features a large natural free form piece of tumbled turquoise, set on an 18ct gold band, is a work of art.
If it was a building, we would marvel at the architectural genius.
Here, the prongs do a lot of heavy lifting, the designer has created them in 9ct gold which is harder than 18ct.
People often mistakenly believe I love jewellery because of the bling. It’s actually for the design and history. And this design era is one of my favourites.
