Gems are the rarest and most enticing material a jeweller can work with and this newest entry in the acclaimed 500 series showcases a rainbow of stones, from rough and natural to fully-faceted precious jewels. The pieces include rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants and even a tiara, and theyre set in every imaginable kind of material, both precious and non-precious: gold, glass, platinum, palladium, iron, resin, silver and more. The work ranges from Christo Kiffer's delicate and expressive ""Tourmaline Moth Brooch,"" with its rich green tourmalines and sparkling diamonds, to a devastatingly beautiful necklace by master jeweller Daphne Krinos.
