Unique Properties: The pendant became Pure Infinity thanks to the clear, flowing border in red gold that runs around the stone without touching it. The gemstone setting and the loop are made of a single wire and follows an infinite line from narrow to wide. The delicate facet of the topaz is incorporated into the setting thus creating a never-ending impression. The suspension of the pendant is diagonal and allows the pendant to hang straight on a chain without tilting back or forth.
Dimensions & Packaging: Pendant length: 32,5 mm, width: 56,5 mm, 18K red gold, topaz 92,14 ct. 27,8 mm x 38,4 mm x 13,4 mm.

Production Technology: The topaz of the pendant was scanned and its setting constructed in CAD. It was then plotted in wax and cast in 18K red gold. The setting was finished at the workbench and the gemstone was busted into the setting.
Design Challenge: The main issues while developing the pendant was in maintaining the required tension in the gold and holding the gemstone without closing the setting entirely.
Research: It was necessary to examine how much the gold would move when the gemstone was set in the pendant and whether the stone would break if tension within the setting got too high. Due to the fact that the gemstone is not completely held by the setting, it was important to find out how thick and hard the wire had to be to maintain a certain tension in the gold without the gemstone fracturing during processing.
Inspiration: Pure elegance, nothing but the radiance of the gemstone should attract attention. The clear line of metal which serves as a setting, combines purism and functionality into an object that makes the gemstone wearable as a pendant without distracting the viewer from unnecessary details. The symbiosis between metal and stone merges. Only the colour of the red gold and the sky blue of the topaz are complementary and increase their charisma through contrasts.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2019 and ended in July 2019. The pendant was produced in Steinbach (Taunus), Germany.
Operation Flow: The pendant can be worn on different precious metal chains or on a leather band. Depending on the wears preference, both sides of the jewel can be worn frontally. Each side of the pendant has its own exklusiv expression.
