Alces Aurea

Incorporating Maine’s iconic moose into his design, the large antlers are made of 18KT yellow gold and set with diamonds featuring the delicate veining of maple leaves. A large bicolor tourmaline, weighing 24.75 carats, rests in the center of the piece, evoking a full moose head. Dunton Quarry tourmalines, custom faceted by Steven, are set at the top and bottom of the center stone. Metals used are 18KT yellow gold, 14KT white gold and 24KT yellow gold. The fine tourmalines are accented by white diamonds (2.5 total carats).
