Raindance or Gatsby

Messika's Gatsby lays pavé down as a single ruled stroke: a bar on a chain, a slim band, a hoop in one of three sizes, its geometry taken from 1920s diamond bracelets and its name from the hero of Fitzgerald's 1925 novel. Raindance refuses the straight line. At Boodles in 2000, Rebecca Hawkins placed round diamonds of unequal sizes in separate collets and kept rearranging them over the platinum until the scatter looked random and balanced at once, like rain arriving on glass.
