The
Inspiration
The fascinating structures deep within the sapphire served as the source of inspiration for this jewellery piece. With the aid of a microscope, the designers immersed themselves in the stone, where they discovered organically curved flowing shapes which reminded them of a majestic glacier feeding a glistening mountain stream.
The
Design
Following this inspiration, they crafted the Glacial Symphony earrings, whose design reflects the inner beauty of the sapphire. At the same time, the design calls forth light refractions in ice crystals and the gently rippling mountain stream dynamically tumbling through a spectacular Swiss Alpine landscape.
The Gübelin
Design Signature
The glistening red highlight of this composition is comprised of the two rubies, which lend the earrings finesse and another exciting colour shade. They are a signature design element of Gübelin Jewellery and also grace Glacial Symphony. In addition, the two cushion-shaped sapphires are also accompanied by rubies. A total of four rubies designate these earrings as a Gübelin Jewellery creation.
The
Details
The gemstone setting in the chandelier element starts with a cabochon-cut ruby. They are followed by diamonds in a fine, flowing gradation reminiscent of a glistening mountain stream. This bold energy is highlighted by marquise-shaped sapphires, dramatically heightening the dynamism of the Glacial Symphony. In further detail, selected marquise-shaped sapphires are surrounded by a fine pavé thread. Aquatic sapphires in a harmonious colour gradient emphasise the organically curved shape of the Glacial Symphony and bear witness to refinement and the highest degree of artisanship. The moveable sections of its chandelier element bring the flowing shapes to the fore and create a lustrous, delicate finish.

Ways of wearing
With its sophisticated design, Glacial Symphony opens up two ways of wearing: as classically elegant stud earrings or more festively as chandelier earrings with a flowing gemstone setting. As ear studs, they embody purist design while creating a sparkling blue statement. The ear studs can be easily changed into impressive chandelier earrings.
The
Masterpiece
This Masterpiece is a symphony of colours, shapes and cuts. These chandelier earrings are set with sapphires totalling 17.35 carats from which the centerpiece are two cushion-shaped sapphires from Sri Lanka weighing 5.40 carats and 5.18 carats. Complimented by 74 diamonds totalling 5.42 carats.
