A small silver flower with a salt and pepper diamond cast into its centre — organic, sculptural, and unmistakably different. The diamond isn't set after the fact. It's cast in place, becoming part of the metal itself.

This is dainty diamond jewellery with presence. The kind someone notices because it doesn't follow the usual rules.

Please note: Each pendant is hand-built, so there will be natural variations in the flower form and the salt and pepper diamond pattern. No two pieces are identical — that's part of their beauty.

The Diamond

The 3mm rose-cut cabochon salt and pepper diamond sits at the heart of this flower, cast directly into the sterling silver. Salt and pepper diamonds are prized for their natural inclusions — the grey, black, and white flecks that give each stone its unique character. No two are alike.

This isn't a traditional setting — the diamond was placed into the wax form before casting, so when the silver flows around it, stone and metal fuse together. The result is permanent, organic, and completely unique.

Rose-cut cabochon diamonds have a flat base and gently domed top with subtle faceting, giving them a softer, more organic sparkle than brilliant-cut stones. The salt and pepper inclusions add depth, texture, and individuality — it's not about maximum shine, but about presence and character.

How It's Made

The flower is shaped by hand in wax, then the rose-cut salt and pepper diamond is built into the form before casting. Once the silver is poured, the stone and the metal become one. Each piece is hand-built, so subtle variations in form and diamond pattern are natural and expected.

This version has a softer, more rounded form. The petals draw the eye in toward the diamond at the centre. It sits just below the collarbone on a fine, lightweight chain, so it's easy to wear — but visually it holds its own.

Care Instructions

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time, adding character. Clean gently with a silver polishing cloth. Store in a dry place or anti-tarnish pouch when not worn. The salt and pepper diamond is securely cast into the silver and requires no special care — it will never come loose.
