Marked by two vibrant contrasting colours, these two brooches boast extraordinary crafsmanship. Every single calibré-cut citrine and amethyst was meticulously fashioned and mounted with precision, so the fuid outline perfectly depicts the delicacy of a fower petal. This calls for not only extreme patience, but a thorough understanding of gemstones and the tremendous skills typical of Oscar Heyman’s creations. 別針選用了黃跟紫兩種對比色呈現品牌的極致工藝：打造 栩栩如生的花瓣，必需勾畫出柔順的曲線。因此每一顆黃晶及 紫水晶都需根據設計形態，經人手切割成獨特的形狀，再精準地 鑲嵌起來。這不但考驗工匠的耐性及對寶石特性的認識，精湛 的工藝更加是至關重要。以上所有都反映出此Oscar Heyman作品 的可貴之處。
