When a Master's skills, knowledge, and experience rise to such a high level of mastery, challenging one's own creative and technical abilities is natural. And that which would otherwise seem to be impossible becomes possible.
This is the mindset of Alexandre Sidorov, whose keen determination and innovation lead him to create jewelry like this. It's one thing to pavé tiny diamonds on outside metal surfaces, but look past the top surface on this piece. You'll see an entire wall of diamonds pavéd on the inside. The 18K yellow gold "padlock" consists of over 195 white and yellow diamonds totaling 2.01 carats; be sure to notice the larger yellow diamond peeping through the center keyhole. At 0.9" tall x 0.6" wide x 0.2" thick (23 mm x 15 mm x 5 mm), it fits delicately in the palm of a young lady's hand.
Sidorov has a world-wide reputation for doing the impossible, creating jewelry that astounds even the most experienced top jewelers and stone setters. Take a closer look and ask just how he fabricated and set this exquisite piece. Then, enroll in the 2009 Grand Masters Program and he will tell you in person. Alexandre will present the first ever Grand Masters course specializing in the highest level of fine stone setting.
