It all started with an 8 carat round diamond and a
client who was fascinated with mechanical things.
He wanted to turn the diamond into a pendant
for his wife but the design team at Oscar Heyman
suggested they make it a ring and pendant both.
The client was so enthused with this idea that he
purchased three additional 8 carat diamonds and
several 8 carat sapphires in various colors. A proj-
ect was born that evolved over the next six years,
resulting in a stunning piece that could be worn in
countless ways – as a "naked" pendant, in a frame
of diamond or sapphire, in a frame of round or
pear shaped stones, as one ring or the other, as
a choker with three large gems or as a slightly
longer collar necklace with one drop stone. The
combinations were endless and the client was
thrilled. To fi nish it off, there were multiple sets
of personalized tools to get the job done!
"This necklace was one of the most complicated interchangeable
pieces we've ever made."– Tom Heyman
