OPENWORK PIECES WITH DELICATE CLOUD AND FLORAL IMPRESSION­S EMBELLISHE­D WITH PRECIOUS GEMSTONES MAKE UP CARATELL’S NEW COLLECTION CALLED ABOVE THE CLOUDS.

Similarly, in the Floral Breeze the breeze is translated into amazing red and white bejewelled blossoms; their delicate details expressed by rare tapered rubies and sparkling tapered baguette
