With its striking design, Polly Wales has used her unorthodox method jewelry making to create this statement-making necklace. Each of the black and white sapphires has been directly cast into the 18K yellow gold resulting in a perfectly imperfect disc. Most of the sapphires show their surfaces while others remain buried in the gold or barely peek out. The disc pendant spins from the hole in its center as it hangs from the 18K yellow gold chain.

Polly Wales Jewelry

LOS ANGELES - Polly Wales redefined contemporary fine jewelry with her signature cast-not-set technique, embedding sapphires, rubies, and diamonds directly into molten gold. Trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, she approaches each piece as an organic composition, where gemstones emerge naturally from richly textured surfaces. Bold, unconventional, and instantly recognizable, her work blurs the line between fine jewelry and wearable sculpture.
