Brooch on dark gradient background with colors gray to black upwards. The brooch is in three colors, grey, rose, and yellow gold, with an overall warm golden scheme. It is designed in a geometric cubism style. The brooch is a horizontal piece that starts with triangles pointing inwards on its opposite ends. The triangles extend towards the center in a 3D-like perspective. Two horizontal arrow-ended bars are placed on top of each other, slightly shifted. At the center is a rectangle composed of individual shapes - two rose gold triangles pointing inwards and two gray trapezoids filling the spaces on the top and below.

A bracelet designed with repeated geometric forms encrusted with faceted diamonds set in platinum. The large oval forms have negative space on both sides for attaching wide shiny platinum links. A wide foldover clasp ends the bracelet on the last oval piece on the left end while the bar designed for the clasp to foldover is part of the oval on the right end. The photograph captures the bracelet placed on a diagonal against a gray ground with reflected gradient light.
