mad for money, one way to promote luxury is to
make sure it’s affiliated with the right ideals.

unlikeliest of icons.
Picchiotti
«A 10 ct. fancy yellow cushion
diamond is the focal point of this
important ring. Belonging to the
Unique Diamond Collection,
the cushion is enhanced by a
special «trellis-workmanship»
where each single diamond is
set in its own box creating an
irregular grate. Typically
Picchiotti, it clearly denotes
Picchiotti’s mastery in working
with calibrated stones.»

19 Couture Spotlight
The good, the green and the
utterly gorgeous is how we’d
characterize our spring jewelry
feature. Not all of the jewels
are green in the philosophical
sense of the word, but that’s
okay. Even if they’re green in
appearance only, just think of
them as spreading the word.
