Description

Hera, here as a wearable form of self-expression, professes her love through her wondrously spread plumage. She is infused with the creator's greatest affection as he handpicked each of the thousands of gemstones over four years to form on the plumage an aura with gradient colors. Interchanging arrays of fancy colored diamonds, emeralds, and tsavorite garnets complement one another, and create for her admirer an optical illusion as the color changes from yellow to green to a mix of both at different viewing angles.

The liveliness of the peacock is also highlighted by her eyes of padparadscha sapphires whose rarity is comparable to that of true love. Intricate details that add to the authenticity of the eyes can be found, such as the black agate set within that resembles an eyeball. Encircling its diamond-paved body is a black opal ring whose dazzling beauty radiates everywhere, even in the darkest of places. It is a torch of inextinguishable light that resembles the endlessness of the universe.
