A showpiece of Wendy Yue’s fantastical design language, the “Rapacious Rose” necklace blossoms with sculptural intensity and exceptional gem artistry. The detachable pendant brooch is conceived as a richly layered flowerhead, its petals pavé-set with rubies and pink sapphires that graduate in tone, culminating in a sparkling diamond-set center. Crafted in blackened 18K white gold, the brooch is fitted with a discreet pendant loop on the reverse, allowing it to be worn either as a jewel on the collar or as a standalone adornment.


The pendant is suspended from an intricately hinged collar, which evokes a twisting vine alive with color and movement. Pavé-set tsavorites and diamonds wind along its sinuous form, accented by two pear-shaped pink tourmalines that lend a lush, organic vibrancy all mounted on blackened 18K white gold. Together, they form an extraordinary, transformative jewel that captures Yue’s signature ability to blend natural motifs with opulent fantasy.
