DESIGN & LAYOUT

As with every Masterpiece at Pragnell, the design is dictated by the gemstone, or in this case, the layout of gemstones. The Coronation Celebration necklace posed a design challenge not often encountered in the creation of jewellery, that of multiple gemstone varieties. The concept features pairs of gemstone varieties, each matched in colour but cut differently, ensuring every stone is unique.

To create a sense of balance, each of the pairs of gemstones is perfectly opposed, which required us to trial dozens of potential layouts during the design process. A sense of unity is achieved by ensuring that complementary colours and shapes are next to one another and evenly distributed throughout the necklace.
