EDITOR'S REVIEW
Tantalisingly beautiful conundrums are Cindy Chao's speciality and in the astounding Winter Leaf necklace Cindy Chao has spun a web of 6,000 diamonds totalling 250 carats set into lightweight titanium. The settings are so refined that the diamonds appear to float on air and light streams through them unimpeded by metal mounts. This degree of attention to detail is characteristic of the painstaking work of Cindy Chao and her highly skilled gem-setters. Despite being totally covered in diamonds, the fluid motion of the necklace perfectly mimics a frozen leaf in a winter garden.
