Two Colombian emeralds to each ear, the square above and the long octagon below, with a single diamond between them. Clean, upright, and an easy thing to put on in the morning. Colombia gives emerald a green nobody else quite reaches — warm, faintly blue, and deeply saturated.
The green deepens as it falls. Colombian emeralds run the length of the pendant, growing in size and in saturation together — the palest and smallest at the top, the fullest green and the largest at the base — so the colour arrives gradually and settles at the foot of the drop.
Every diamond in this ring has a straight edge. The halo, the shoulders, the whole architecture is built from baguettes, and that single decision gives the ring its clean Deco geometry. At the centre, a Colombian emerald of 3.45 carats, square with the corners taken off.
Blue at the top, blue at the base, and one flash of green between them — the colours of a coastline seen from the water. The blue is the sea itself: a pear-cut sapphire at the ear and, at the foot of the drop, an oval sapphire fuller and deeper again, so the colour gathers as it falls.

Ruby and blue sapphire are the same stone. Both are corundum, and what separates them is a single trace element arriving as the crystal grew — chromium for red, iron and titanium for blue. Everything else is identical. Two of the most coveted colours in the world, and the distance between them is that small.
