GUILTY PLEA SURES
Jewellery We showcase three jewellers' creations to help you dazzle during the festive season.
NOV — DEC 2012 NIRAV MODI
Third-generation diamond trader and jeweller, Nirav Modi came into the limelight when he sold his Golconda diamond necklace at a Christie’s auction for $3.56 million. Here we present three of his pieces, featuring rare diamonds, each more exquisite than the next.
In the earrings, the petals are made of Modi’s specially developed Mughal-cut diamonds and the leaves are composed of calibre-cut baguettes. Diamonds totalling over nine carats are mounted in 18k white gold. When the earrings are clipped on, the flowers dangle in the front of and behind the earlobe and can be worn in two ways.
Constellation Necklace: This bedazzling creation has 288 brilliant-cut diamonds, weighing over 94 carats in total, mounted on 18k white gold.
Fancy Intense Yellow Pear Ring: A magnificent five-carat intense yellow diamond is set on an endless-cut shank, accentuated by smaller one-carat yellow intense diamonds (11 carats in all), all mounted on 18k yellow gold.
Mughal Earrings: Diamonds totalling over nine carats are mounted on 18k white gold in these Mughal-cut front-back earrings, inspired by Mughal miniature-school motifs.
