22K & 18K yellow gold, bezel-set mixed cuts of emerald
A lively combination of green emerald takes center stage in this unparalleled work by Petra Class. Class is a master metalsmith, who expertly wields metal into extraordinary shapes and sizes, custom-made for her jewelry designs. For this piece, she sculpts individual bars of high karat gold. From them, she extends green tourmaline, exhibited in a variety of shapes and textures. Each stone is held in a crafted bed of gold. Although each bar and gem are made as singular forms at first, Class links them, and magically they sit as a perfect fit on the body together. Class reveals a wonderful statement of impressive adornment, as her talent and ingenuity shine in this one-of-a-kind piece.
