“Atlas” was an entrant in the 2012 Jewellery Association of Australia (JAA) Awards. This striking piece features a diamond-set cross split band with a unique design that showcases a tension-set pearl prominently elevated in the centre. The surrounding diamonds enhance the lustre and sheen of the tension-set pearl, creating a sophisticated and visually captivating contrast. Designed and handcrafted by Nicholas Theocari, “Atlas” exemplifies his innovative approach to jewellery design, combining elegance with a contemporary twist.
