It’s an ever-lasting savoir-faire, a unique gift for metalworking and encrusting, that overlays the imagination and refinement behind Cindy Chao’s jewelry. These are organic creations, reified by an unparalleled mastery of various techniques, ranging from wax sculpture to the selection of stones and their assembly. These exceptional pieces are the Black Label Masterpieces 2015; admirable jewels that raise themselves up to the very essence of jewelry itself. Harmony and a spatial dimension are incarnated in each creation.
No surprise then that the highly anticipated Black Label Masterpieces are sometimes reserved by collectors across the world from the very first sketches. And this year once again, we find ourselves discovering the brand’s emblematic creations with wonder. Each piece is attached to one of three overarching creation families: Four Seasons Collection, Aquatic Collection, or Architecture Collection. Certain of these sublimely original pieces contain very rare gems, such as a perfect 40 carat diamond, a pair of champagne-colored 50 carat diamonds, a pair of 90 carat Colombian emeralds, or an assortment of precious stones. Estimated at several tens of millions of dollars, their beauty has no equivalent. The Masterpiece 2015 #3, the Emerald Floral Cuff, is a marvelous illustration of this.
