The pavé is carried seamlessly across every visible surface, so there is no "dead" side to the piece, as the ribbon curls and dives, fresh facets of diamond keep catching the light, giving it a continuous sparkle from any angle. The graduated twist creates real dimension, lifting and dropping through three planes so the form reads as motion frozen in metal rather than a flat brooch. Finely pave-set and precisely matched graduated stones reflect the level of hand-finishing Jose Hess was known for, and the diamonds appear bright and white, well cut and evenly set for maximum brilliance.
Designed as a convertible piece, it functions equally as a brooch or a pendant, fitted on the reverse with a secure pin and clasp, as well as two bars, so it can be pinned to a lapel or suspended from a chain. Stamped "153536", "Jose Hess", and "18K".
Jose Hess (1936–2017) was an award-winning American jewelry designer based in New York, celebrated for his bold, sculptural designs and masterful diamond work. A multiple Diamonds International Award winner, he was known for fluid, architectural forms that turned fine gemstones into wearable modern sculpture.
