Phase Pendant in 18k Yellow Gold with Sapphire Cabachon

Claudia Alleyne

This was one of my more complicated custom projects, and I am thrilled to have worked with this client. He came in and saw my Pinasse hoop earrings and believed I would be the perfect person to create a pendant for his wife, a scientist who studies the T7 phage. 

This piece involved collaboration with several external contractors, including our 3D printer, stone cutter, and molder and caster. Once all the parts and pieces were ready, they were brought back to our studio for our master goldsmiths to work their magic.

Fast forward five months from the start of the project to its completion, and the timing could not have been more perfect, as his wife had just given birth to their first child. It was time to welcome their newborn girl home from the hospital. 

I couldn't be prouder of this piece and the talented craftspeople I worked with to bring it to life
