Orb

The piece is inspired by the natural process of plant seeds and their organic dispersal. The pearl is central to the overall design, surrounded by a golden cup containing hundreds of carved apertures and set with pink and orange sapphires. A secondary outer latticed cup is set with pink and green diamonds. Nigel cut a cross-section under the pearl allowing the viewer to peer inside this little ‘world' and observe it in microscopic detail.
