Spindrift
$1,195.00
Ten lab diamonds in ten different cuts — emerald, radiant, oval, bullet — floating through a vintage saltwater pearl bracelet on 14k yellow gold jump rings. The two uncertified bullets are the largest stones in the piece; they were chosen the way all the best stones are chosen, by holding them against these specific pearls and deciding they belonged.
