It is the Goldilocks of Gold. Pure gold is so soft that it can easily become warped just by wearing it; and lower karat alloys, such as 18 and 14k, are simply too hard to execute certain designs. 22 karat is juuust right.

Once the pieces are completed they are sent to us and the original gemstones are then set by our jeweler.

This collaborative process has yielded the collection we are sharing today: a sumptuous assortment of dazzling and luxurious jewelry that is sure to captivate…
