Yet they both share the same sources, as they were all formed billions of years ago under extreme temperatures and phenomenal pressure. Might this explain these jewelers\u2019 fascination for the cosmogony?<\/p>\n<p>Between figurative and abstraction, poetry and the rigors of science, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexandrereza.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexandre Reza<\/a> features crescent moons in dark gold set with diamonds. <a href=\"http:\/\/solange.co.uk\/everything\/1181-moon-and-stars-spinner-ring.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solange Azagury-Partridge<\/a> creates rings in the form a diamond around which stars revolve.

To connect us with the beyond, what better than mysterious gems like star sapphires, opals and tiger-eye. The spherical pendants of the Lebanese jeweler, <a href=\"http:\/\/noorfares.com\/collections\/tilsam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noor Fares<\/a>, are sculpted in gemstones with opalescent and iridescent reflections, and in moonstone and labradorite at the center of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackbirdandthesnow.com\/collections\/moon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blackbird and the Snow<\/a>&#8216;s collections.<\/p>\n<p>This very current cosmogony theme, in the past inspired such spectacular pieces as Mademoiselle Chanel\u2019s &#8220;Com\u00e8te&#8221; necklace of 1932. The house re-acquired this piece during the creation of its jewelry division and has turned it into an easily recognizable code at the base of a number of collections with such evocative names as &#8220;Voie Lact\u00e9e&#8221; and &#8220;Ciel \u00c9toil\u00e9&#8221; among others.
