Velours de la Reine, Ruby & Diamonds Necklace

Velours de la Reine: Pear-Cut Ruby and Diamond Necklace in 18K White Gold

This custom high jewelry necklace pairs the richness of natural rubies with diamonds in a graduated design that balances elegance with bold color. The composition features seventeen pear-shaped rubies—totaling 7.83 carats—arranged asymmetrically down one side of the strand, anchored by one hundred twelve brilliant-cut diamonds weighing 6.66 carats total. The pear cuts of the rubies catch light with distinctive depth, while the diamond station creates a luminous counterpoint.

The piece exemplifies handcrafted French jewelry savoir-faire, executed in 18K white gold that allows the deep red gemstones to command attention without competing visual noise. This is the kind of bespoke gemstone arrangement that rewards closer inspection—the graduated placement means each ruby sits at a precise distance, creating a cascade effect rather than a rigid line.
