From the Designer:
‘I wanted to create a piece that puts a red carpet spin on an old classic design like the traditional halo. Having an open design allows for the design to be elegantly simple but complex to understand. I have paired the elegant white gold that complements the white diamonds with accents of rose gold as it is very ‘on-trend’ in the fashion world at the moment, making it perfect for the red carpet.’
