The 2 diamond pendants here, which bring to mind brooches used by women of the court, can be removed to adorn a pair of earrings.&nbsp;

What&#39;s the significance of the pomegranate? In the Renaissance, the fruit was offered as a wedding gift, representing prosperity. Because of its meaning, the motif also decorated costumes during that time.&nbsp;

Clearly inspired by that balcony scene, when Romeo and Juliet make their declaration of love. Except here, lush ivy drapes from a diamond-studded balcony.&nbsp;

As its name suggests, the showpiece is inspired by the blue Maiolica ceramics of the Italian Renaissance - with the start stone here weighing over 42 carats. The double row of diamonds is meant to recall feminine ribbons.&nbsp;

The 2 pear-shaped aquamarines, weighing over 100 carats, were chosen to mirror the blue of the fountains of Verona. The city, after all, was home to Shakespeare&#39;s Romeo and Juliet. All of the precious stones have been placed to create the effect of the sparkling water of the fountain.&nbsp;
