Frozen forms have long ceased to play a leading role in classic and avant-garde jewelry. Modern jewelers give an increasing place in their creations to elegant and thin lines, which, curving and intertwining with each other, allow you to create delicate flower petals, tree branches and even bird feathers.

The snow-white Paspaley pearls, surrounded by amethysts and sapphires, recalls the upcoming Christmas and gifts under the tree.
