Portrait Setting x English Chain
Introducing the timeless elegance of the Portrait setting pendant, a retro inspired showcase of nature’s rarest jewels, handcrafted in our British workshops.
The Portrait Setting
Framing Perfection
Created to celebrate nature's standout gemstones, the portrait setting has been designed to frame the central stone, drawing the viewer's eye in. Its beauty lies in its perceived simplicity, however each mount is handcrafted around the stone to ensure the perfect fit. The result is a perfectly proportioned ribbon of polished gold encircling the central stone, creating contrast and accentuating its beautiful colours. This bold mount pairs perfectly with our English Chain, giving the Portrait setting an iconic silhouette, reminiscent of the Retro period.
English Chain
Uniqueness Made to Last
In England, only a few dedicated individuals continue to preserve the ancient practice of handmaking chain. Meticulously crafted by our master goldsmith, English chain is the result of a lifetimes work, dedicated to elevating this jewellery staple into an icon. Each link in the plait-style chain is forged and finished by hand, which ensures both uniqueness and strength. Hand-woven from 18ct yellow gold, this heavy chain flows effortlessly over the skin with buttery softness, making it the perfect partner to our Portrait setting pendant.
