THE COLLECTION

Two things people reach for without thinking, made to the standard of things people keep for a lifetime.

Each object is taken apart and rebuilt as a full set: the same form becomes a choker, a bangle, a pair of hoops and a ring. Nothing hangs off a chain and nothing is a charm. The object is the jewel.

I - Le Rouge

Karlito Le Rouge choker, a pave diamond tube with a red lipstick bullet in yellow gold at the throat

01

Le Collier

A diamond tube that comes round the throat and stops. The two ends pass each other without meeting, the bullet on one side, the cap on the other.

The gap at the front is the piece. It reads as an object caught open rather than a closed circle. The clasp sits at the nape and vanishes into the pavé.

02

Le Bracelet

The same crossing at the top of the wrist, on a hinge so it opens rather than slides over the hand.

The pavé runs unbroken over the top of the wrist and the mechanism lives entirely underneath.

Karlito Le Rouge hoops, inside and out pave diamond creoles tipped with red lipstick bullets in gold

03

Les Créoles

Large hoops with the bullet at the top of each, where the hoop meets the ear.

Paved on the inner face as well as the outer, so the hoop stays lit from behind as well as in front.

II - La Cigarette

04

La Cigarette

The object itself, at true size, in white ceramic with a band of diamonds where the paper meets the filter.

The filter end is paved in orange sapphires, close set, so the colour reads as a single mass rather than a row of stones. Worn in the breast pocket.

Karlito La Cigarette ring, a white ceramic band with orange sapphire pave and an oval ruby ember

05

La Bague

The crossing again, smaller: sapphire pavé over the knuckle, ruby ember set into the opposite end.

White ceramic all the way round the finger, with no metal band underneath.

06

Le Bracelet

A white ceramic tube crossing at the top of the wrist, one end paved in orange sapphire, the other closed by an oval ruby set flush.

Diamond collars mark both joins. The ceramic is turned in one piece, which is the difficult part of the whole collection.
