    Gold Bonbonnière щf classical form, with a contemporary twist, carved from a single piece of highly transparent rock crystal quartz. Displaying a host of reddish-golden rutile needles, the quartz is nonetheless transparent--an indicator of its quality. The hand-forged base consists of a substantial amount of 18K yellow gold, and bears panels of translucent reddish-orange and sage green guilloche enamel over an engraved ground, centering on a line of small brilliant-cut diamonds.
