"A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind." -- Clive Bell
A jewel of grace, power, and unmistakable beauty, Gabriella Rose is an embodiment of nature's magnificent wonder. At 164.39 ct, the flawless purple sapphire is noted as the largest of its kind.
The discovery of a gem like Gabriella Rose is indeed a spectacular event. Never before in history has such a clean purple sapphire with vibrant color emerged from the earth. With the cutting and polishing skills of man, Gabriella Rose's natural beauty was only further enhanced, allowing for her unique character to shine through every facet.
Its purple is one of the rarest colors in nature, balances the stimulation and fire of red with the serenity and calm of blue. It is the color of many gifts: power and nobility, dignity and wisdom, and imagination and creativity. Purple is also a symbol of magic and mystery. Perhaps few objects reflect those qualities so brilliantly as does the Gabriella Rose.
In many aspects, the gemstone itself is a work of art, formed by nature and finished by man. To honor the beauty that is Gabriella Rose, the creator framed it as one would a rare portrait. A stunning ring of round brilliant diamonds and fancy-colored diamond waves surround her form, drawing the eye to her core.
The pendant is suspended from a chain of myriad gemstones and impeccable detail. The structural, egg-shaped links express the relation between stones through tension setting, echoing the waves of the universe. The open back of the pendant shows the main stone in its perfect state and allows light the freedom to flow.
As a composition, the creation's wealth of purple and pink resonates like a moonlit rose garden. Like petals about the stamen of a flower, the diamonds embrace the gem. Below the purple sapphire, two diamonds cascade down to create a balanced and lingering effect, like the rhymes of a poem. Creativity, skilled artistry and countless hours of craftsmanship have transformed Gabriella Rose into a blossom of everlasting beauty.
