01 — Design note
“A pendant study built around one colour — the hour before dusk in a garden. An emerald, inclusions and all, held where light can still reach it.”
Design studies are concept work: directions we can develop for you, shown as renders rather than delivered pieces.
Concept render — first sketch
Concept render — CAD study
02 — Drawn, measured, revised
How the design settled
- R1Sketch studies played with a free-hanging briolette; a protected setting suits daily wear better.
- R2A half-bezel leaves the emerald’s sides open to light.
- R3Chain length is fixed at 42 cm after fitting with a paper mock-up.
Concept render — not a completed client commission.
