Three old cut diamonds.

How to set them?

I also got two guidelines: an onyx and a coral.
So...
Art deco!
The color is known. I add a white gold.
Let's see what we had there... Maybe a lotus flower?
Good.
But it did not start a century ago, rather a thousands...
Please check the Egyptian buildings.
How crafts are parallel?

Of course, the diamonds are mounted in pure silver, have rods for riveting on the other side.
So individual components are connected by mechanically.
It is metal and stone lego...
A glue only works as a sealant.

The walnut box (silk strap with gold leaf inscription, interior made from velvet, wool, cotton), the stones (onyxes and corals) - all are my own production.

I will be grateful for the critical estimation as always.
Sorry for my exotic english...

Fantastic work. It's rare to see jewelry today made to this standard. Excellent design and beautifully made.

I am truly grateful for so pleasantly opinions. Thank you!

As a curiosity I might add, with a few months after the completion of this work, it was destroyed by one skilled person (vel professional)...He made amendment. In a few seconds, can be destroy the efforts of many days. C'est la vie...

The pendant and earrings had quaint mounting system. Small connectors (rings) were not lockable, were soldered, so it had to be assembled in this way. Please, take a look:
