This one-of-a-kind parure, designed by Vyacheslav Vasiliev, is a true testament to fine craftsmanship and timeless design. Made of yellow, white, and rose gold, diamonds, yellow sapphires, and pearls, it consists of a necklace, ring, bracelet, and earrings, totaling 147 unique hand-made fragments.
The necklace, the centerpiece of the parure, features two branches of laurel, symbolizing glory, intertwined to form a figure-eight, representing infinity, reliability, and stability. The branches pass through a symbolic heart, and a large crown in the center manifests the One and Only among others. The diamonds that trill from the symbolic eyes reflect the pure tears of joy and despair.
The ring, with its intricate design, showcases the symbol of infinity, depth, and mystery. The multiple levels and small fragments create a mesmerizing reflection and shine, accentuating the beauty of the metal and diamonds.
The bracelet and earrings, with their elegant and harmonious design, complement the necklace and ring perfectly. Each item of the parure can be worn independently or in any combination with others, allowing for versatility and personalization.
What sets this parure apart is not only its exquisite design but also the attention to detail and the dedication to craftsmanship. It took Vyacheslav Vasiliev five years to complete this masterpiece, ensuring that every fragment is meticulously crafted and assembled by hand.
The "One and Only" parure comes with the option to replace the three main stones - two in the necklace and one in the ring - with stones of the owner's choice, adding a personal touch to this already unique creation.
Presented in a handmade wooden box, specially crafted for this suite, the "One and Only" parure is a true work of art that will be admired and cherished for generations to come.
