This it’s a jewel or a watch by Backes & Strauss? The London-based company known for the processing of diamonds, has unveiled the Piccadilly Princess Royal Emerald Green, a bracelet-timepiece consists of emeralds encrusted. The work is part of ongoing collaboration with the group Gemfields. The timepiece, which is actually a precious bracelet, is the third in a series of five watches designed to commemorate the 225 years of Backes & Strauss. The Piccadilly Princess Royal Emerald Green uses 245 emeralds from Kagem mine, in Zambia. The stones were arranged and cut in ten different ways, for a total 31.91 carats. “A dedication to the shared responsibility of environmental and human rights, together with a commitment to high-quality cut is what encouraged us to continue a partnership and create another masterpiece with Gemfields,” commented Vartkess Knadjian, ceo of Backes & Strauss.
