Eleven rare, antique Tabiz-cut Burma sapphires—remarkable for their color, age, and irregular form—are suspended from the Trinity Chain using a system of custom-fabricated gold fittings. Each element functions less like a traditional setting and more like a hoist: engineered to support the stone’s weight while leaving its form exposed and legible.

The sapphires hang independently, their movement controlled but not fixed, creating a subtle dialogue between mass and restraint. This approach honors both the material reality of the stones and the structural intelligence required to carry them.

The necklace reveals its construction openly—an object where beauty emerges from balance, load, and the quiet authority of well-made metal.
