Like a desert princess

2 October 2019

Red, like the dusk that sets the warm Eastern nights on fire.
White, like the bright rays of the moon when they are filtered by the gentle breeze blowing from the desert’s womb.
This game of chiaroscuro reveals the most unexpected nuances on faces, exposing elusive souls and the faces of lovers who find themselves at nightfall to be ambassadors of their feelings, exchanging sweet words and seeking the stillness of silence.
This image, which stands out in the mind like a mirage, inspires the “Notti d’Oriente” parure, consisting of a precious necklace and earrings, both made with rubies and diamonds.

The necklace, handcrafted in white gold, features 13 Burmese rubies totalling 26.05 carats and 90 diamonds totalling 13.53 carats, and holds a precious detachable ruby of 2.01 carats in the centre.
The simple but extremely precious pendant earrings consist of a row of 10 diamonds of 1.79 carats and end with two splendid Burmese rubies of 2.44 and 2.40 carats.
All the diamonds used by Salvadori below 0.30 carats are individually selected to ensure the highest quality: they are loupe clean (LC), extra white, colour (F).
The rubies are certified by the Asian Institute of Gemmological Sciences (AIGS) of Bangkok, Thailand, attesting to their exclusive value and excellence.

This parure, created by the designer Marzia Pendini, recalls the legendary tales of the Thousand and One Nights, and will make every woman feel like a real desert princess.
