Serenade
A 0.51-carat D VVS2 heart-cut lab diamond bezel-set inside a 10k yellow gold heart, framed by tiny yellow gold bows on either side and carried on 6.5 inches of hand-strung vintage white pearls. The clasp is a reclaimed 14k yellow gold bead clutch — saved from a pile I’d planned to melt. The heart at the center is the piece; everything else is built to hold it.
The Object
- Name: Serenade
- Silhouette: Vintage-style pearl bracelet with heart diamond center and gold bow accents
- Edition: One of one
- Collection: Tidework and Love Bomb
The Stone
- Type: Lab-grown diamond
- Cut: Heart
- Carat weight: 0.51 ct
- Color: D (colorless — the top grade on the GIA color scale; no visible tint)
- Clarity: VVS2 (very very slightly included — inclusions extremely difficult to see under 10× magnification)

The Metal
- Metal: Solid yellow gold (10k heart center; 14k reclaimed clasp and findings)
- Gold content: 10k (41.7% pure gold, 417 stamp) at the heart center; 14k (58.5% pure gold, 585 stamp) at the clasp and findings
- Gold weight: 1.37 dwt of 10k gold at the heart center (approximately 2.13 g)
- Finish: High polish
10-karat gold is the strongest everyday gold alloy — more scratch- and dent-resistant than 14k or 18k, with a warmer, quieter tone. We chose it deliberately, for jewelry that’s meant to be worn, not stored.

- Bracelet length: 6.5″
- Pearl strand: Approximately 4–5″ of vintage pearls flanking the center
