Autumn in New York

"An extremely precious 0.88ct. natural green diamond is the compelling centrepiece of Master Goldsmith and High Jewellery designer Nigel O’Reilly’s elegantly sculptural brooch, titled Autumn in New York.
Inspired by the euphonic seasonal hues in Central Park and the cacophony of the wider city, O’Reilly has created a magnificent and exceptionally rare piece that captures the complexity, intrigue, and beauty of a multi-faceted metropolis.

Meticulously crafted in recycled and refined 18KT rose gold, the centre diamond, which O’Reilly describes as “the seed from which the design has grown”, is elevated by six-hundred-and-fifty-three brilliant cut cognac diamonds, burnt orange diamonds, green diamonds, pink diamonds, and pink sapphires.
He chose the geometric-shaped gem as a structured counterpoint to the ethereal flower motif.
O’Reilly's vision for the piece was to create a harmonious blend of diverse elements, ensuring that it could be cherished by anyone who appreciates its beauty. As he eloquently describes, "I wanted to make a brooch that transcends traditional gender norms, offering a unique fusion of styles that celebrates individuality and inclusivity.”

This latest addition to O’Reilly’s celebrated archive of heirloom art jewels, ‘Autumn in New York’ reflects the artist’s determination to perfectly realise the potential of each and every gemstone he works with and to provide you, the client with a contemporary, one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art that can be enjoyed and treasured by future generations.
