Carbon & Platinum Eye Candy
So today's post is just straight-up "eye candy" featuring some of my favorite platinum and diamond originals from a variety of artisans - all from the Art Deco period. It's magical to me that a little bit of carbon can, under immense pressure, turn into the most beautiful stones - diamonds! And, I think you will agree that the craftsmanship of these pieces is just amazing and the detail in nothing short of inspiring! A perfect match for these magical bits of carbon.
