Trapiche Diamond Tablet Drops

$8,900.00

We love stones that defy convention. Trapiche diamonds are extraordinary geological curiosities, their distinctive, radiating patterns formed during the growth of the crystal itself. These particularly handsome specimens have a moody, greenish-brown complexion, with atmospheric triangular forms suspended within each diamond.

We chose deep, greenish-blue Australian sapphires for the shadows, crisp step-cut white diamonds for the highlights. This unlikely marriage of color, light, and geometry sent us straight to the Renaissance, to Lorenzo Lotto's Portrait of a Woman Inspired by Lucretia, painted around 1530. An extravagance of green velvet, tawny silk, and gold, the portrait is a curious affair, with its improbable color harmonies, enigmatic symbolism, and marvelous disregard for restraint.
