What You Should Know: A spectacular opalescent sapphire set in a bed of 22k gold.

The world is made of shapes. Some are rigid and logical, while others are flowing and organic. Shapes remind us of childhood—learning the names of each shape, selecting our favorite shape.

Shapes also remind us to be present. What a beautiful thing to notice the form and structure of our surroundings. To observe the design of the objects in our lives. To bear witness to nature's stunning creations.

Among the world's most perfect shapes is the hexagon. Even the word is sexy. But the ubiquity and utility of this six-sided marvel is even sexier. 

Hexagons are the most incredible marriage of beauty and efficiency. Mathematicians love hexagons due to their undeniable efficiency. They fit together without any gaps and can bear the most pressure with the least amount of material. There is no wasted space. The hexagon is one of the most commonly occurring shapes in nature. Think of a honeycomb, the eyes of a fly, or the tiny structure of a snowflake. Even the molecular structure of carbon is hexagonal. 

Our love of hexagons is coded into our very essence, as the chemical bonds on DNA take a hexagonal form. But it's not just our planet where hexagons pop up. Saturn has a cloud formation over its North Pole that invariably takes the shape of a hexagon. Scientists do not know why but leading theories revolve around atmospheric flows.

Our newest collection is inspired by the hexagon. Immersing in this shape unlocked creativity and experimentation, resulting in a set of pendants that are a longer than usual. This allows for the flow around the contours of an elongated pink sapphire in a bed of pristine 22K gold.

This 1.25ct opalescent pink sapphire is both gorgeous and rare. These stones are much more uncommon as compared to average pink sapphires or opals. The mesmerizing play of color from that opalescent effect is remarkable, with a shimmering, iridescent play of colors that changes depending on the angle. This is caused by the diffraction of light within the gemstone's tiny silica spheres. It speaks of fluidity and the beauty of unrelenting change. An extraordinary reminder to enjoy the ride and savor the beauty of each moment.
