Boghossian Unveils ‘Desert Rose’ Jewellery Collection In 18k Rose Gold

Boghossian’s most recent jewelry collection defines a novel resourceful path for the superior jewelry home.

Boghossian is a spouse and children-owned Swiss company with Armenian heritage that is traditionally regarded for working in exceptional gemstone. The firm traveled together the Silk Road plying its trade in advance of settling in Europe. In the late 2000s it proven a large jewelry manufacturer in Geneva, building “East meets West” types based on new technology and historic fine craftsmanship. It specialised in improving the gems in its jewels by reducing the quantity of gold made use of. A novel strategy to higher jewelry structure at the time.

The higher jewelry brand’s latest jewelry collection, “Desert Rose,” signifies a new direction. Below, the aim is on 18k rose gold to recreate flower-like formations in the desert recognized as desert roses. These formations are produced when drinking water evaporates in a shallow salt basin, resulting in crystallized minerals embedded with grains of sand. These crystals are shaped into petal-like structures by the forces of rain, wind and stress, resulting in exclusive and various appearances for each and every a person.

“It was a bold move for us to go into gold,” suggests Roberto Boghossian, a partner in the company. “We normally check out to operate around the gems to lower the gold and below we’re using a distinctive direction. Rose gold is still pretty common but we’re managing it in a various way.”

The capsule collection is composed of earrings and a ring, just about every obtainable in two measurements. It took two many years to design and style and craft the items, Roberto suggests. 3D laptop-aided style and design (CAD) instruments had been employed to develop the complex structure. Crafting the rose was the most hard element of the project.

Roberto defined that the prototype was carved out of a single piece of guava quartz, a semi-precious gem. At first, the idea was to carve the piece out of a block of gold but that proved to be way too challenging. In its place, the artisans went by means of a lengthy system of creating every single jewel by crafting the gold petals separately and inserting them alongside one another to develop each and every piece.

“It took really a little bit of time,” Roberto states. “The angle depth and aspect proportions took a prolonged time to arrive jointly to make every piece great.”

The gold is accomplished with a textured brushed finish that tends to make each seem as if it was designed from sand formations.

More improving just about every piece is diamonds. They seem in rows on the outer edges, in compact starlike formations and in the center in rose formations. The middle formations have been made of fifty percent-moon shaped diamonds.

“We positioned a half-moon diamonds in the heart of flower but set them on a vertical entry a bit slanted,” Roberto says. “It’s turned sort of upside down and slanted to give you this new dimension and unconventional distinction.”

He claims the exclusive use of diamonds and the textured gold finish not only enhances the desert rose style but gives it a “contemporary” enchantment.

The Desert Rose is minimal to 40 items and is obtainable in all Boghossian boutiques as properly as by means of the brand’s web site.
