The bird of paradise flower opens sideways, not upwards — its petals splitting into a crest of orange and blue that unfurls like a bird lifting its head, which is exactly how it earned the name. The curve in this piece takes that same gesture: metal drawn up and out, holding the stone the way the flower holds its colour, at the centre of the display rather than hidden beneath it.
An 18 carat white gold necklace set with cultured grey pearls and a stunning 22.28 carat heart-shaped, very fine pink Morganite offset by two white gold 'Birds of Paradise' set with diamonds. Morganite is a variety of Beryl.
