In perfect tune with the palpitations of the heart, our master-craftsmen suddenly become poets in an eternal creative instant…a marvellous and moving way to express the purest emotions and infinite love, doing so with the Heart and Reason for Being of the maker, the Century sapphire.
Centimento pieces are hand-crafted, reflecting nuances of feeling through their shimmering facets, meticulously hand-cut and hand-polished from a sapphire mass we have named “Megalith.” Encircled with delicate, 18-carat gold, set with diamonds and, at times, studded with rubies, this sapphire of intense red explodes with passion! A subtle invitation into the depths of the heart with a breathtaking note of love, symbolized by the play of light within. Sparkling with a thousand tiny lights, or simply dazzling in unified radiance, changing to match any facet of feeling and desire, this perfectly-finished wonder can be worn with either face displayed.
Thus the heart of the passionate woman will be torn between the captivating gleam of the medallion embraced in its sumptuous Centimento setting, and the enchanting purity of the glowing red sapphire pendant, rings, and earrings. Haute couture jewels that are an impeccable complement to any attire, in any season, but which always reflect the sentiments of the wearer…
The Centimento line will make any heart beat faster…it is a blazing declaration of emotion!
Once a heart is captured, never let it go…
