African Safari

Hold Africa close to your heart and honour her gentle giants with this uniquely crafted piece – a homage to the continent’s majestic wildlife.
Rare Africa
This classically designed and masterfully crafted neckpiece showcases the vibrant green and fiery brilliance of Tsavorite, one of the world’s rarest gemstones. First discovered in Kenya’s Tsavo National Park near the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, this African region remains the world’s primary source of gem-quality Tsavorite.
Far rarer than emerald, Tsavorite belongs to the garnet family and is hailed as the rarest garnet in existence. Its high refractive index gives it remarkable fire and brilliance, captivating the eye with its intense sparkle.
The Rare Africa is a one-of-a-kind neckpiece, the culmination of hundreds of hours of thoughtful design, meticulous diamond selection and masterful craftsmanship. Each Tsavorite cluster, made and set with precision, contributes to the breathtaking creation, featuring 15.26 carats of striking, high-quality natural Tsavorites enhanced by the brilliance of 15.91 carats of stunning fine white diamonds. The result is a mesmerising masterpiece that graces the neck in a harmonious blend of radiant colour and shimmering light.
