18 Karat White Gold 1ct Diamond Pendant, Waltzing Brilliance

Founded by Viktor Moisekin, a highly devoted and well-known jeweler in Russia, luxury jewelry company Moiseikin has created unparalleled pieces for heads of state and royalty around the world, as well as medals for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Its work is charged with emotion, commands attention and is endlessly creative. 

The company was started in 1993, and its team of artisans draws on centuries of Russian jewelry traditions from such firms as Fabergé and Bolin, while involving cutting-edge contemporary techniques. For example, its proprietary diamond-setting technology involves setting a diamond at just two points. Moiseikin is known for its exceptional quality and opulent detail, with forms from nature like animals and flowers inspiring its luxurious pieces. Gold branches on brooches are adorned with leaves of rubies and diamonds and white gold rings bloom with blossoms of sapphires.

Headquartered in Yekaterinburg, the jewelry house showcases fine gemstones from the nearby Ural Mountains. Among its selections of animal objets d’art and floral earrings, the Horn of Plenty stands as Moiseikin’s crowning achievement. Taking over a year to make, the piece contains an enormous nautilus shell with 500,000 sapphires, 20,000 diamonds and one kilogram of gold. A hummingbird hovering over an orchid completes the sculpture, which also includes a manually wound clock housed within its base.
