Diamonds: Sparkling Halos

The Beginning
Concept and Design: A Study in Biomimicry with Hidden Depths
The Scorpion Arm Cuff draws inspiration from the natural world, capturing the essence of the scorpion's form with meticulous detail. The use of gemstones in graduated hues reflects the creature's natural coloration, while the meticulous setting techniques echo the intricate details of its exoskeleton. The design extends beyond the stunning presentation on the front, with exceptional detailing incorporated on the back of the cuff as well.
Hand-Sculpting and Molding: The Birth of a Legend
The creative process begins with a meticulous hand-sculpting of a wax model to ensure the perfect balance of form, movement, and functionality. This model is then cast in gold, forming the base for the piece. The meticulous attention to detail ensures the scorpion's form is lifelike and captivating, with intricate details on both the front and back of the cuff.
A Functional Masterpiece: Hinged Claws and Tail
Unlike traditional arm cuffs, the Scorpion Arm Cuff features a remarkable feat of engineering – its claws and tail are fully articulated, adorned with additional gemstones and intricate detailing. This exceptional feature adds a touch of realism and allows the cuff to be comfortably worn.
Metalwork and Goldsmithing
The Scorpion Arm Cuff exemplifies the artistry within PROLOGUE's Legends Collection. Skilled artisans meticulously sculpt the 18K pink gold into the dynamic form of the scorpion, ensuring every curve and detail is hand-finished to achieve a flawless surface that reflects light with brilliance. Then, using a combination of advanced setting techniques and the practiced hands of our master jewelers, hundreds of round diamonds and sapphires are meticulously set to bring the design to life. This painstaking process takes over nine months to complete, resulting in a masterpiece of exceptional detail.
