During March 2015 HKTDC Gem and Jewelry Exhibition Kashi Diamonds spectacular necklace was selected from over 10,000 exhibitors to be the highlight of a featured Gala Dinner and was presented by Chinese Movie Star Sisley Cho. Gregory So, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, and other celebrities were invited to the “International Jewellery Design Excellence ” (IJDE) award presentation ceremony cum Jewellery Gala Dinner, which was under the theme “Royal Retreat”, held on the first day of the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show (4 March).
This Necklace and earrings are an inventive combination of anachronistic artistic styles of traditional Asian and Hindu cultures on one hand, and contemporary, stylish, modern jewelry on the other. The necklace and earrings are ornamented with floral and circular designs, and adorned with shapes of marquise, pears, and flowers in different configurations of artistically curved lines and stars. Combined, these figures and shapes present an appeasing and brilliant illusions and sparkles. The contrast of the old, antique and the traditional with modern and contemporary cutting, manufacturing, and design trends renders this piece truly a one of a kind masterpiece.
This beautiful diamond necklace was designed and created by Roei Kashi from Kashi Diamonds. As a third generation diamond manufacturer and Jewelry designer, a Stanford University School of Engineering graduate who took classes in product design, Roei carefully chose each of the diamonds while designing the necklace. Contrast in focus is a leitmotif in Roei’s work, who often emphasizes contradictions by focusing on contrasts.
The necklace contains 30.67ct of diamonds, mounted in 150.56gram of 18K white gold.
The optional earring consists of 6.94ct of diamonds, mounted in 18.27grams of 18K white gold.
