The Ornate Elegance of a Diamond Cuff (Part 1)




When asked by a lifelong friend to create a piece that celebrated her accomplishments both personally and professionally, Ana-Katarina knew that she needed a design palette that was as intricate as the recipient. This friend—a businesswoman who also is the godmother to Ana-Katarina’s daughters—has risen to the top of her field, and serves as the Head of Development at a leading Saudi women’s center.

Using an Art Nouveau floral motif, Ana-Katarina created these two versions for the clients review. When the final design is selected, the cuff will be crafted in several pieces and clasped together--a design style found in both Balkan and Middle Eastern tradition.

Check back soon for more updates about the completion of this piece!
