Across the neckline, diamonds create a fluid landscape of light, with subtle sapphire accents breaking through the brilliance of 47.80 carats of round diamonds. But everything changes at the centre.
Suspended almost like a drop of midnight blue is an extraordinary 184.15-carat unheated Sri Lankan sapphire. Its sheer scale is arresting, yet there is a quiet elegance to the way it has been placed. Rather than competing with the stone, the necklace appears to surrender to it.
Set in 18-carat white gold and accompanied by 1.90 carats of round sapphires, the composition feels beautifully balanced despite the magnitude of its centrepiece.
The largest sapphire in David Morris’ history, it gives the Riviera something beyond extravagance. It gives it presence, rarity and that elusive quality every exceptional jewel desires: to be unforgettable.
