Couture, Theron Pendant Necklace in Platinum and Natural, White Diamonds

THERON Pendant Necklace by Ashley Childs

Ashley Childs designed this diamond, platinum and 18K gold collection based on the affect of fine, subtle sculptural movement while using the tiniest of graduatated diamonds, as a way to enhance the movement with each twist and curvature of the metal form. The graduated and sometimes, anticlastic turns of her pieces in this collection are incredibly calculated to the finest millimeter.  Her attention to the graduated channel-set, diamond-detail is impeccable (and had to be - as to enhance the idea that the diamonds might be slowly growing out of the crevices and edges of each form).  Her choice in using platinum for most of the heavier pieces is quite purposeful.  Platinum holds a delicate, soft-white, greyish luster, almost like the color of fog.  Platinum also holds the softest, metallurgical properties, scoring a 4-4.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.  It is much different from that of gold, silver or steel. 

From start to finish, every aspect of the designs became a bold, emotional investment for Ashley Childs.  Her pieces are an ode the fine art of movement's discerning subtlety.
