The mandarin duck, famously, mates for life, which makes this a gift with a built-in message. About 0.8" tall, built on 92.5 sterling silver under heavy 22k gold vermeil, its plumage a kaleidoscope of hand-cut mosaic stones, including mother-of-pearl accents, each embedded flush into the metal.
Every stone is seated by hand, so each duck wears its colors in its own arrangement. Bright, detailed, and made to be worn daily rather than saved for occasions.
- The Motif
- A stylized Mandarin Duck, standing tall and displaying a "patchwork" of colors.
- The Palette
- A vibrant "Micro-Mosaic" featuring segments of Cobalt Blue, Ruby Red, Emerald Green, Amber, and Mother-of-Pearl.
- The Material
- 92.5 Sterling Silver (Precious, hypoallergenic, and substantial).
- The Plating
- Heavily coated in 22k Gold (Vermeil quality) for a rich, sunny finish.
- The Technique
- Flush stone-setting. Each distinctive color is a separate stone, hand-cut to fit its specific geometric "cell" and embedded flush into the silver frame.
- Dimensions
- Approx 0.8" height (Petite and detailed).
- Chain
- Includes a matching Gold-Vermeil cable chain.
Chemicals: Hairspray and perfume can dull the multi-colored glass over time. Apply beauty products before putting on your jewelry.

The story
To make a gold necklace is simple. To make a rainbow requires a master's eye.
Master Jeweler Ratan treats this piece like a stained-glass window. The challenge is not just setting the stones, but balancing the colors. He places a deep blue Sapphire hue next to a warm Amber, and a sharp Emerald green next to a soft Pearl white.
This "flush stone-setting" technique requires him to cut each stone into a unique, irregular shape some are triangles, some are teardrops to fit the puzzle of the bird's body.
It is a tiny, wearable mosaic that proves luxury doesn't have to be serious.
Life in full color.
