The most unique part of this design is that you will be able to see through two white sapphires inside of the hand-carved citrine symbolising the image of identical twins. The honey-like citirne projects white sapphires, a mysterious juxtaposition of the sharp and the mellow. The combination of form, choice of materials, concept and craftsmanship sets this design apart from all others.
