A singular representation of form in the process of evolution, the rarity of Paraiba derives from the serendipity of its proximity to and inclusion of co-existing copper and manganese traces in the ancient pegmatite landscape of Brazil. Cradled in its natural quartz, the unique central stone in this collection emits its raw potential through intense color saturation and luminosity. The brilliance released, as light passes through the 80 polished Paraiba and diamond stones framing the centerpiece, signals the soul’s divine promise.
The three pieces comprising this aspect of the collection channel the present moment of a 70-million-year journey. The enigmatic ammolite embodies transformational ascent as one of the world’s few biogenic gemstones. Once organic beings roaming the inland seas of Alberta, ammolites are ammonites transformed by heat, pressure and mineralisation into a fossil whose chromatic iridescence generates a constant sense of movement that is all at once beyond reach and at hand.
Transcendence entails the passage of light through shadow. This aspect of the collection metaphorically and aesthetically explores opacity, translucency and clarity in the soul’s journey. Peruvian pink opals, naturally coloured during formation by organic pigments, form the center stone for this aspect, alongside pink agate and orange sapphires.
