Universum Cuff, BEST IN DEBUT 2021

The Universum Cuff, part of the Sagesse Collection, is modeled after a 15th century bronze crown and royal golden disks. Concentric circles are at the center of the piece. Representing the universe, this motif has appeared throughout the world and across eras, etched in boulders in the Sahara and found in valleys in Arizona. The symbol is comprised of delicately sculpted circles radiating from a common center set with a single tsavorite.

The ‘Vici’ Earrings represent the third portion of the phrase 'I came, I saw, I conquered' from our Sagesse Collection. The ‘Vici’ comb encompasses a feminine force, often associated with patience, prudence and care. From ancient Egypt to contemporary times, the combination of beauty and power has been captivating.
