Princess Collection
A beautiful piece of jewellery, designed and crafted by masters. The unique skills of the watch maker, diamond polisher and jeweller have combined to create a fluid, strong, flexible hand crafted masterpiece. The bracelet is a true masterpiece of engineering. Each link is hand-made; each diamond is handset and then joined together with the same exactitude and skill that goes to produce a Backes & Strauss watch. This elaborate but simple design, reminiscent of Backes & Strauss jewellery from the Victorian age has been restyled in a totally modern and practical way to enhance the glamour, strength and beauty of this Royal.
Backes & Strauss have perfected the Ideal-Cut diamond where all the light that enters the diamond refracts internally from 57 precisely placed facets, dispersing through the top, producing maximum fire and brilliance, perfect for a Princess.
The range is further enhanced with three colourful editions, known respectively as the Emerald Green, the Red Rose and the Blue Velvet. Their names are derived from the use of hand-set emeralds, rubies or sapphires which serve as hour markers on the dial of each watch, lending the design a fresh twist while also enhancing legibility. The same precious stones are incorporated in the bracelet settings.
The inspiration for the series initially came from the Blue Velvet suite and the Red Rose drawing room at Carlton House, the palatial London residence of the Prince Regent, gifted to him in 1783 by his father, George III, to mark his coming of age.
