Suzanne Syz’s jewelry is synonymous with her personality: rule-breaking, inspiring, and whimsical to the last. This Jeweled Chesterfield Ring, featuring a huge smooth cabochon inset into an exciting pattern of green scales shapes studded with diamonds, putting ‘fun’ and ‘play’ to work. Syz took inspiration from carefully studying the rubellite and determined that it would mesh perfectly with rose gold and colored aluminum, but her primary inspiration for the chesterfield scheme was the sumptuous furniture design and intricate marquetry of Jean-Michel Frank.
