Chalcedony and Aquamarine Wearable Sculpture

This commanding wearable sculpture features an elegant carving of natural black chalcedony. The sculptural gemstone appears to blossom open in graceful movement, its flowing form animated by a lively aquamarine drop that sways freely beneath the carving. A pear-shaped diamond is perfectly nestled within the chalcedony, adding a point of brilliance to the organic composition.

The aquamarine drop is removable, allowing the piece to shift its style dramatically and effortlessly. Hand-fabricated in 18k gold and platinum, the mounting is designed to be worn either as a brooch or suspended as a pendant from a wide variety of necklaces, including pearls.

Created for ART Guyon, the jewel reflects a shared vision of celebrating the extraordinary beauty that skilled hands can reveal within natural gemstones.

CONVERTIBLE DESIGN
Designed with a discreet receiver, this piece allows for interchangeable drops, offering the collector an opportunity to shift its character with subtle or dramatic effect.

The included aquamarine and diamond accent provides a bright contrast to the sculptural chalcedony. Alternate drops, ranging from luminous pearls to colored gemstone compositions, can be selected, each bringing a distinct presence to the piece.

This flexibility allows the work to evolve with its wearer, while remaining grounded in the integrity of the original design. Additional drops are available upon request.
