The JOY Collection
Light,held close.
Stones set so the metal all but disappears. JOY began in 1962 as an experiment in holding a diamond with almost nothing, and has never been redrawn since.
A quiet architecture of gold lets every stone move with you — catching the light, then giving it back as something entirely your own.

I
A window in Chartres
The first drawings were made on the floor of the cathedral, tracing where the light fell rather than the glass that made it.
II
The thinnest claw
0.4 mm at the tip. Four years of failed prototypes to arrive at a section that holds and still vanishes.
III
One cut only
Brilliant, always. The collection has never admitted a second cut, and it never will.
