He wanted to make a meaningful talisman for his wife - one that honoured the past while invoking elements of the present as well as the future.

To commemorate her father, we adapted the image of an antelope featured on a fireplace screen of his that she had long admired. Each diamond in the sky represents a family member. The antelope leaps across fertile soil from which gem flowers grow. A flowing stream ushers in the future.

Made of 18k white and yellow gold, this pendant invites each of the different elements to stand out. The river of vitreous enamel was etched to give it a true feeling of flow.
