Piaget's Craftsmanship - Sculptures of Gold | Piaget 2012

At Piaget, designers, gemmologists, gem-setters and jewellers work together in perfect harmony. Passion leads to excellence throughout all production stages, from the successful expression of an idea to the selection of rare gemstones. A piece of jewellery is being created at one of the largest High Jewellery workshops in Geneva. A drawing is created and contours are revealed little by little. The carefully studied architecture begins to take shape, and gold is then painstakingly sculpted, adjusted, polished and buffed to reveal all of its glory. This is the moment of grace when the piece of jewellery comes to life. The gold is then enhanced by the brilliance of gemstones that a gem-setter are set with precision to perfectly showcase their beauty. Nearly 340 hours of work are required by our craftsmen to create this High Jewellery necklace. More about Piaget's craftsmanship: http://www.piaget.com/craftsmanship
