Why we are obsessed 

This piece is very typical of the white on white of platinum and diamonds used during the Edwardian era. Hand-crafted jewellery was in fashion again and the style became ethereal with intricate detailing, drawing inspiration from the 18th century where motifs such as bows, garlands, ribbons and lace were popular. The addition of the citrine as an accent gem typical of the period, further adds to the lightness and joy that one can expect to feel when wearing this statement piece
