How a one-of-a-kind piece is made

One of a kind

It does not begin with a design. It begins with a question.

Whoever commissions a one-of-a-kind piece rarely brings a finished idea. Usually they bring an occasion, a colour that belongs to a person, or a sentence that should last. From that, a piece is made.

The conversation

What a piece should carry

We ask first about the occasion and about the person who will wear it. Only then do stone, glass colour and setting come up. This order decides whether a piece later means something or merely pleases.

The making

From design to piece

The diamond is selected, the glass sphere formed around it by hand in Austria, the setting made to measure by goldsmiths in India. Every step is a decision that can later be read on the finished piece.
