Fine hoop earrings set with natural sapphires in 14k. These hoops have 6mm tubes, possibly the thickest to wear comfortably. Creating these eponymous hoops we dream up bohemian elements of gems and gold, amidst Dionysian ‘bundles’ of grape. The use of bigger but fewer gemstones is more bohemian than you think, and in a larger hoop this is as clean as it gets. Only the beautiful contours of the hoops lie – each hoop has four oval sapphires weighing about 1.4ct each. The relish of a 6mm-thick body means the 3cm-tall hoops do not wear as chunky as they look. Trudging around the Internet one does not find a pair of hoops as serviceable as these. Like the simplest adored designs, quiet glamour is not as simple as it looks. Form and function must now embrace culture’s backstory. #gypsyhoopearrings Sapphires weigh around 11.2ctw.
https://www.singaporeislandjewellerystore.com/catalog/swallow-multicolor-sapphire-necklace-singapore/ Fine sapphire lavaliere necklace set in 14k. The sapphires are unheated ‘rainbow’ sapphires weighing 42.25ctw. The sapphires range from pastel to light tones, with the bare three deeper in tone. These light tones emanate to the darkened gold, encapsulated they set off a unique subdued radiance of non-primary colors. These in-between colors of natural sapphires now flaunt their reflected selves, inviting the eye towards the lustrous unexpected. There is the sombre rosary somewhere in its lavaliere form, in blackened gold and in its swallow noir, all engendered in all. The largest stone is another in-between color, a red-orange tourmaline weighing 7.2ct, revealed in a cathedral bezel large and centred. In fact, all stones are set with as many prongs as possible, though one is slow to notice, for that is the beauty of Georgian bezel symmetry. The sapphires tremble on these fully-backed gold mounts, rocking here and there, but always turning back. Continuing with the ecclesiastical, the swallow is carved from jade, a stone of ritual capped by a bell jar of diamond. The 17″ necklace can be worn without its drop (5.5cm) , and further the lone diamond swallow can be detached to wear as a pendant.
https://www.singaporeislandjewellerystore.com/catalog/carved-jade-drop-earrings-yin-yang-moons/ Fine Yin Yang earrings set with carved jadeite in 18k. Two pairs of studs to wear alone or pair with the carvings, one statement, one small. The striated jadeite captures a traditional way of jade carving, the material is preserved with only small pierced work and dense carving delicate in parts. We mark this tradition with a pair of moon faces far from what comes to mind in these plaque style carvings. This could be the most Chinese (or most European) pair of carved jade dangle earrings, it is what it is. Two expressive moons, momentous and moody, coiffed by a crown of diamonds enjoined in the Yin Yang symbol. The moons have a two-third halo of green, their way of return to what comes after. The little spiral studs convey the lineage of red and green in fine jade jewelry. Accent stones are natural diamonds, jadeite and rubellite cabochons. The earrings are longest at 5.5cm; the moons are 2cm around.

https://www.gemgardener.com/catalog/carved-green-jadeite-jade-bangle-singapore/ Rare vibrant green jadeite jade bangle with an internal diameter of 56.5mm. This type of jadeite is highly collectible as the mine has been exhausted and is no longer being mined. Gan Qing jade is typically either speckled with black spots or areas of white. Valued for its aptitude of being greener than most jadeite, it is nevertheless, always opaque, and always heavily carved to conceal flaws or salvage its green parts. This bangle is precious not because it is Gan Qing jadeite (翡翠干青), but because it is the best-in-class for a branch of jadeite and contrary to what it usually shows. Displaying a rich vibrant green with the absence of the above, the density allows the pair of pixius (chasing a dragon pearl) to be finely carved as finials, leaving the rest of the bangle untouched to showcase the material’s exceptional state. In jadeite (翡翠), a full vibrant green is always the elixir, whichever branch it occurs on. Taking its anomaly to an art, wearers of such an oblong jade bangle must take a leap of confidence and try the unconventional in a convivial thing. The diagonal measurement is 60mm, but it should fit if you wear a bangle with an internal diameter between 54mm to 59mm. The bangle is 10mm tall, straddling the space from effort to effect, angular to liminal.

https://www.gemgardener.com/catalog/4ct-fancy-strong-yellow-fluorescence-diamond-singapore/ Fancy deep brownish yellow diamond weighing 4.02ct. The VS2 diamond has a strong yellow fluorescence. 95% of fluorescent diamonds emit blue, this strong yellow diamond is a rare phenomenon. Like strong blue diamonds, the strong yellow diamond appears as if two different stones in and out of light, any light. It is a deep brownish yellow away from any light, glowing to a bright yellow in daylight, and ever more intense in indoors light. Though all the photos are taken in natural light, the videos show this diamond better than photos as the frames capture the glow movement to moment. While blue fluorescence is often used by jewelers to make yellowish diamonds appear whiter, strong yellow fluorescence highlights the yellow color rather than hide it. Smother this strong yellow pear with like-minded stones to charge the whole ring with surprise. The diamond measures 14.6 x 8.3 x 5.0 mm.

https://www.gemgardener.com/catalog/6ct-fancy-dark-brown-greenish-yellow-diamond/ Natural 6.03ct fancy dark brown greenish yellow diamond. However saturated, this SI1 fancy diamond is strangely fiery, even for a cushion cut. This diamond is very hard to capture in photographs, due to its adapting ‘changing’ tones. It has a yellow base, which is obscured by its dark tone. In person, the green and brown interact as a substantial bright grey light, quite impossible to understand by any lens except the eye. Diamonds of this spectrum – dark FBGY – impress on one as if a fragment off a comet. Its unique display of color will not mind either color of golds since there is a depth contrast. The diamond measures 10.07 x 10.07 x 7.01 mm. GIA Report.
https://www.gemgardener.com/catalog/3-5ct-each-oval-diamond-earrings-natural/ A pair of loose natural fancy oval cut diamonds weighing 3.51ct each. Both are VS2 diamonds, one is fancy brownish greenish yellow (strong blue); the other is fancy brown-greenish yellow. The diamonds are not of the same hue, but the asymmetry in their tones reflect each other. Given the yellow tone diamond has strong fluorescence, the pairing makes an aesthetic duo. (Diamonds of strong blue fluorescence display a vivid yellow in indoors lighting, appearing near white in daylight, seemingly like two different stones.) Diamonds of such a blend of mixed tones (ie. FBGY) are extremely underrated; when seen as loose stones the potential is easily overlooked. Across skin tones, the tone of these diamonds look less glaring than stark white or yellow, no less brilliant. Designed in this light they dazzle differently. Bezel these for old-fashioned glamour, half bezel for a sleek look (first image). GIA Reports.
