Imperial-sized sapphires and rubies mounted in necklaces that require up to 6000 hours of workto create unique pieces that make you dream just looking at them. Set chokers that turn into tiarasbracelets with ruby butterflies dancing on the wrist, 130-carat paraiba stones that make up sets intended for queens and princesses.
