THE MOISEIKIN RUSSIAN JEWELRY HOUSE PRESENTED THE INTERIOR WATCH "HORNY OF ABUNDANCE" AT WORLD LUXURY EXPO EXHIBITION IN ABU DHABI.
In a unique masterpiece, three types of art are combined - stone-cutting, jewelry and watchmaking. In the figure of a hummingbird, the body of which is a baroque pearl, 555 stones are fixed - demantoids, diamonds and tanzanites. A ripe bunch of grapes form 75 Brazilian amethysts. If you look closely, you can see a golden stone in the core of each berry. Pineapple is made in a special technique. To repeat its characteristic relief, each citrine was cut by hand and delicately fixed with diamonds. The color of the tart dry pomegranate skin is conveyed by yellow, orange and yellow sapphires, and its characteristic texture is a specially designed tack.
An iridescent nautilus shell entwined with flexible golden algae sparkles with drops of pearls, amethysts and demantoids. Its wall thickness is 0.5 mm, and at the same time it can withstand almost one kilogram of gold.
At the base of the "Cornucopia" is a clockwork. If you click on the top berry of fallen grapes, a small cache will open, and in it is a golden key for the watch factory. The well for the plant is hidden under one of the pearls.
Orchid petals are made of matte ametrine, and one of them is made of gold and precious stones. They are decorated with pink sapphires, personifying droplets of nectar: they attracted hummingbirds here.
