Farmers protected them, children chased them, and grandmothers everywhere agreed - if one lands on you, make a wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI had wanted to design a ladybird for years. It struck me as strange that, despite its universal charm, this little insect rarely appears in fine jewellery the way other motifs do. So I set out to give it the treatment it deserved - not a literal copy of nature, but a jewelled interpretation built entirely from precious stone and gold, every detail considered to match DE SHERVIN'S standard of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe body is paved by hand in pigeon blood rubies, set so closely together that the metal beneath all but disappears beneath the red. Cornflower blue sapphires form the creature's spots and head, each one chosen for that pure, saturated blue that gemstone hunters spend years searching for. A small cluster of natural diamonds, cut to D-F color and VVS-VS clarity, brings light to the face\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- a quiet flash of brilliance against all that color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery stone sits in a hand-carved pavé setting, and every prong holding them was shaped and set by hand, one at a time, under magnification. The design alone took three months to resolve before a single stone was cut for it; the making took seven weeks more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWorn as a brooch or pendant, DE SHERVIN's Ladybird sits with quiet presence - a small piece of folklore, rendered in gold and gemstone, meant to bring whoever wears it a little of that old, simple luck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e18k gold - 7.86g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e140 natural rubies, pigeon blood - 4.41ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e109 natural sapphires, cornflower blue - 0.77ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e12 natural diamonds, D-F \/ VVS-VS - 0.04ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eHand-carved paé settings, hand-formed micro prongs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eDesign: 3 months • Atelier execution: 7 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DeSHERVIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44116738080902,"sku":null,"price":14600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1412\/8460\/files\/9D9CA898-8F56-48B5-B10C-58308CDA1EA9.jpg?v=1782451026","url":"https:\/\/www.deshervin.com\/products\/de-shervins-ladybird","provider":"DeSHERVIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
