18K & 22K yellow gold, 12 rough green tourmalines 68.10 ctw
A lively combination of green tourmaline takes center stage in this unparalleled work by Petra Class. Class is a master metalsmith, who expertly wields metal into extraordinary shapes and sizes, custom-made for her jewelry designs. For this piece, she sculpts individual bars of high karat gold. From them, she extends green tourmaline, exhibited in a variety of shapes, textures, and colors. Each stone is held in a crafted bed of gold, with double bars that Class creates to amplify their forms. Although each bar and gem are made as singular forms at first, Class links them, and magically they sit as a perfect fit on the body together. Class reveals a wonderful statement of impressive adornment, as her talent and ingenuity shine in this one-of-a-kind piece.
