Hydra 2.91 balances softness and structure, centered around an antique old European cut diamond whose broad, candlelit facets and warm glow feel entirely of another era. The sculptural basket unfolds beneath the stone like a lotus in bloom, drawing from the openwork elegance of Edwardian design while remaining grounded in a low, highly wearable profile. Beneath the center stone, the openwork basket creates an airy, architectural silhouette that reveals the craftsmanship from every angle.
By Erstwhile designs focus on proportion, restraint, and longevity, reinterpreting historic details through a modern lens. Handcrafted in the heart of New York City, the Erstwhile Collection showcases rare antique diamonds elegantly set in precious metals.
