Vallari Necklace with Vallari Blooms

Vallari in Sanskrit means a flowering creeper, a vine that blooms as it travels, and this necklace moves exactly that way. A gilded geometric lattice chain of marquise cutouts carries alternating oval ruby and emerald cabochons along the neckline, each stone a bloom along the vine. At the centre, a pavé zirconia emerald teardrop bridges the chain to the pendant below, an open scroll flower of burnished pavé loops surrounding a ruby teardrop heart, its petals curling outward freely. Five cultured pearl drops hang from the pendant base, the vine having reached its fullest, most generous bloom.The Vallari Blooms carry the creeper's story to the ear. A pavé-rimmed emerald teardrop stud opens the composition, green and dewy, the bud before the flower. Below it, an open scroll pavé flower unfurls around a ruby teardrop centre, its loops curling outward in the same language as the pendant above. Three cultured pearl drops hang from the base, unhurried and soft, the way petals fall when a flower has bloomed completely and has nothing left to hold back.
