The Bracelet

Sourcing the stones

Stones are graded and ordered around the full circle of the wrist, and the sequence is adjusted until the colour steps evenly the whole way round.

  1. Tweezers placing a blue sapphire on a carat scale beside a caliper and graded stones.
    GradingStones are measured and weighed before they are ordered.
  2. Loose gems laid out in a wrist-sized circle, stepping from pale to deep blue sapphire.
    SequencingThe stones are lined up so the colour steps evenly the whole way round.
  3. Fingers placing blue sapphires onto their outlines on a pencil drawing of a link bracelet.
    MatchingEach stone is checked against the place it has to fill.

Design and model

Links are cut, pinned and worn in bare metal to see how the piece falls as the wrist turns. The clasp is built into the pattern, so it disappears into the line.

  1. Hand painting a full-size gouache rendering of a gold and sapphire link bracelet.
    PaintingThe design is painted at full size, stone by stone.
  2. Real blue sapphire in tweezers held beside the painted sapphire on a bracelet rendering.
    ColourThe painted colour is checked against the real stones.

Craftsmanship

Hundreds of links are made one by one, assembled in order and set only once the bracelet already moves. The inner surfaces are polished as thoroughly as the outer ones.

  1. Hands flexing a partly finished gold and sapphire bracelet over its technical drawing.
    InspectionEvery link is checked by eye over the drawing.
  2. Pliers pushing a hinge pin between two set sections of a gold sapphire bracelet on its drawing.
    AssemblySet sections come back to the drawing so the line stays unbroken.
