Archipelago

An archipelago is a scattering of islands, shaped by the same body of water. In this design, Emily developed the form of the Nori into a larger, bolder exploration of the shapes of seaweed, embracing a set of large natural diamonds. The natural, brilliant-cut diamonds in the 'Verglas' Archipelago are sourced from South Africa, where they are both mined and cut on the outskirts of Cape Town. They are always at least VS2 clarity and whiter than a colour I, combining together into bright flashes of light that complement the folds of white gold. The largest stone is approximately 1ct, and comes with a certificate.

The diamonds in this piece naturally formed approximately 1—3.5 billion years ago in the Earth's mantle. They rose to the surface over millions of years to be sourced from South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, in compliance with the Kimberley Certification Process. All of our stones are responsibly sourced with strict human rights and environmental due diligence on trusted, reputable suppliers. They are set by hand in West Cornwall.
