Rare Stones, a collection of 18-carat gold cufflinks, featuring unusual precious and semi-precious stones, finally reaches the finest department stores worldwide.
The brainchild of Robert Tateossian himself, the Rare Stones Collection is a unique, limited edition range that captures the spirit of his adventurous travelling, searching for unusual materials and craftsmanship excellence to shape them in. The cufflinks settings have been worked around the stones – rather than the other way round – to keep them as close as possible to their natural state. The gold in the frames, carved in ribbed filaments, varies in shades – from rose to hue tonalities, to suit and marry beautifully with the stones they carry.
Rutilated quartz bowls in amethyst, citrine and onyx sit alongside a variety of other quartz gems (lemon and smoky quartz) in hand-carved half cones, some with grid locks. The range also introduces very unusual (and always hand-cut) materials, like Brazilian pyrite, valued for its distinctive luminous effect; Goethite, clear with characteristic strawberry pink streaks.
