Fissure is a jewellery collection inspired by the crevices in melting ice caps and dried earth. Each piece is hand-carved in wax into a three-dimensional lattice, with lines that mimic those found in nature. The structure forms around the gems, creating balanced compositions from seemingly random components. Lost-wax casting, stone setting, metal finishing and black rhodium plating complete each item. The materials are 18K yellow gold, South Sea baroque pearls and white diamonds. Colour contrast highlights the asymmetrical, crisscrossing forms.
