Adamas Diamond Sapphire Drop Earrings & Necklace Suite

About the Item

The juxtaposition of luster vs. sparkle, abundant vs. minimal makes one take notice of this unusual Signed Adamas Milano Diamond Necklace Drop Earrings Demi Parure Suite with Italian hallmarks which features so many lovely gems, cuts, settings, and delicate design details. The eye is drawn immediately to the rich offering of briolette multicolored sapphire—faceted, lustrous, pleasingly tactile—in gradually deepening shades of amber. The densely set cascading strand is a motif which is central to both pendant necklace and drop earrings that comprise this two-piece demi parure suite. Adamas Milano is an Italian fine jewelry house founded in 1960 in the historic center of Milan, and now managed by Cristiano Baccarini who has taken up his father’s legacy of Milanese traditional master goldsmithing techniques and stone setting. The designs are adept and luxurious, rich with classic details combined in unconventional ways that make you say, ah. There is a compelling tactile quality to each special piece which is realized in the way the gold is wrought or in the way the gemstones are presented, often with a feeling of abundance even in minimalist compositions. Made in Italy in the 21st century, circa 2010s, the suite is crafted in 18K yellow gold and set with multi briolette sapphires and round diamonds. The cascading briolettes are like grapes still on the vine, near bursting at the point of peak ripeness and sweetness, as they reflect the golden sun of late August. The 1.63 inch long (4.14 cm) earrings designed for pierced ears feature single rows of round brilliant-cut diamonds set in warm sunny gold suspending each elegant bunch, draped so appealingly. The 17 inch long (43.18 cm) necklace with pendant measuring 1.63 inches (4.14 cm) features a more elaborate setting—that characteristic Italian textured gold detail that gives us all we need and more, setting off the larger bunch in a most classic yet unusual manner. Three rows of diamonds sparkle in an almost Art Deco-style geometric, architectonic form, reminiscent of a detail from a soaring skyscraper of the period. The chain ties the piece together, adorned with delicately spaced faceted gems which pick up the darkest colors of the briolette “grapes” kissed by the sun. The set includes a necklace and earrings. Necklace measures approx. 17” in length, with pendant almost 2” in length. Earrings approx. 1.63” in length; all set with multi briolette sapphires and round diamonds. Overall weight approx. 18.10 grams, made in 18k yellow gold. Signed Adamas with Italian hallmark. Made in Italy; circa 2010s.

  • Spectra Fine Jewelry Black Diamond Necklace Earrings Demi Parure Suite
    By Spectra Fine Jewelry
    Located in New York, NY
    It may come as a surprise that many have argued black diamonds are much more rare than colorless diamonds. One in 10,000 natural diamonds is classed as fancy colored, and only a handful are truly black. Natural Black diamonds are somewhat different from most other diamonds in that they are entirely opaque. However, like colorless diamonds, black diamonds sparkle rainbow colors when their light is deflected to other surfaces. In other words, colors shoot from the diamond when direct sunlight hits the stone. Interestingly, black diamonds symbolize justice and inner strength while representing courage to stand out from the crowd. The carat weight of this Spectra Fine Jewelry Black Diamond Demi-Parure Suite is quite dazzling at an estimated 270 carats. The suite, made in the 21st century, circa 2010s, comprises two pieces—a necklace and a pair of button earrings. The 17.75-inch (45.08 cm) necklace is constructed like a classic strand of pearls, featuring a single knotted strand of 61 graduated black diamond faceted beads ranging in size from approximately 7.00 mm to 11.15 mm. The gross weight is 53.2 grams. The closure at the back is comprised of two parts crafted in 18K white gold—a round metal bead and a pop clasp that seamlessly integrates with the design. The necklace has the eye-catching elegance of a strand of Tahitian pearls, which are similarly more extensive, ranging from 8 mm to 11 mm, like these beads. This black diamond strand can be evaluated according to five of the seven value factors in evaluating pearls and earns 5 out of 5 exquisite marks in size, shape, color, surface quality, and matching, except luster and nacre quality, the substance from which pearls are made that determines luster. These black diamond faceted beads are much blacker and with subtly dramatic sparkle instead of luster. And, of course, they are diamonds with unique and extraordinary beauty, exuding drama and luxury. Although they are fully saturated stones, they still have that sparkle special only to diamonds, more so than other black stones like spinel or onyx. The lovely button earrings are crafted in 18K white gold with clip-back closures and measure .88 inches (2.22 cm) in length. The earrings feature a pair of faceted pear shape black diamonds bezel-set with the thinnest of outlines separating the principal stone from its lovely pear-shaped halo. The halo is comprised of round brilliant-cut black diamonds set with prongs. The gross weight of the earrings is 11.7 grams. The pear shape is classic, and its facets pick up the facets of the necklace. As a black diamond pear...

  • Bulgari Contemporary Diamond Emerald Parure Suite
    By Bulgari
    Located in New York, NY
    It was 1963 in Italy on the set of Cleopatra when Richard Burton famously said, “I introduced Liz to beer, she introduced me to Bulgari,” referring to the film’s iconic star, Elizabeth Taylor. It was even rumored that Ms. Taylor had requested the Italian jewelry house to wait around the set with their latest collection, so she could go shopping in between takes. Founded in 1884 in Rome, Bulgari is known for voluminous forms, signature sunny shades of yellow gold, and vibrantly colored gemstones composed in curvaceous patterns. In the 1920s, however, their high jewelry creations reflected the design of traditional French Maisons, incorporating platinum and diamonds with stylized Art Deco design. This suite, made in Italy during the Contemporary Era, is reminiscent of the geometry of Bulgari’s early style brought into the modern age, with juicy floral patterns featuring a bounty of emeralds - inviting abundance, love, and good fortune to the wearer. Flowers have long been a favorite with the jewelry house, beginning with its en tremblant brooches, created in the 1950s and 1960s as well as with the Fiorever collection today, which draws inspiration from the four-petal flower venerated by the Romans as a symbol of happiness. This exquisite diamond and emerald parure...
