With each setting angle and height accurately calculated, the emeralds are set in an interlacing, embossment-like manner to create a peculiar threedimensional contour for the brooch, thereby portraying the plumule’s airiness. The brooch is composed of 14 barbs, all linked to the yellow diamond-paved rachis with flexible joints that give life and motion to the masterpiece. The back of the brooch is as fascinating as the front, with the rachis painted with a layer of black enemal and paralleled with diamonds and yellow diamonds. Fifteen cm long, the Green Plumule Brooch weighs less than 49 g – truly feather light. Considering the way emeralds are set on the brooch, their carat weight, the brooch’s one-of-a-kind silhouette, and the supporting craftsmanship behind the piece, the Green Plumule Brooch can be said to be the boldest, the most crazy, and the most exquisite feather brooch in the world.
GREEN PLUMULE EARRINGS: 90 carats - pair of pear-shaped vivid green Colombian emeralds. These are the first Black Label earrings from the Feather Collection and includes two briolette-cut brown diamonds, weighing 9.60 carats altogether, which were specially cut from rough diamonds according to the need of the aesthetic. The earrings’ hue and contour are enriched through tsavorites, alexandrites and color-changing garnets. These Green Plumule Brooch and the Green Plumule Earrings once again demonstrate CINDY CHAO’s cutting-edge titanium craftsmanship to create the world’s lightest Art Jewels.
