26 PRECIOUS MOMENTS

The new Serpenti Seduttori in all its gold, glittering glory

“As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time.” The words of 17th-century American settler John Mason continue to ring true with the unveiling of the Serpenti Seduttori. The new model features a slimmer profile, flexible bracelet and cabochon-cut gemstone to complement its signature drop-shaped case
