This designer's jewel was forged by hand by Galadrielle's workshop, a jewellery craftsman, and to shape this original creation, the jeweller first made sketches and drawings before assembling silver plates and wires that were cut and then welded together. To make the jewel precious and shiny, it has been completely polished by hand.

Due to the difference in light and screen settings, the color of the stone may be slightly different from the images.

Art creation made in South Burgundy from Galadrielle's workshop.
