The Spinel Radiance Pendant: Sculpted Light, Designed for Legacy

Rudolf Heltzel Spinel and diamond 18ct yellow gold pendant with matching braided yellow gold choker

The Spinel Radiance Pendant:

Some pieces are crafted.
Others are composed — like a piece of music or a work of art — where every note, every pause, and every element holds meaning.

The Spinel Radiance Pendant is one such creation.
An extraordinary composition of geometry, fire, and precision, brought to life through the vision of Christopher Heltzel and the heritage of the Rudolf Heltzel atelier.

A Jewel of Rare Presence

At its centre lies a 3.71ct natural drop spinel — a gemstone revered not just for its brilliance, but for its rich, enigmatic character.
Deep magenta in tone, perfectly faceted to reveal both clarity and fire, this spinel radiates a regal warmth. It draws you in, like a flame cradled in a glass.

Surrounding it is a constellation of exceptional diamonds, each chosen for its cut, quality, and light-reflecting precision.
The total diamond weight — 0.76ct — is not simply scattered, but arranged with intention: a choreography of round brilliants and princess cuts, designed to elevate the central stone while creating a bold, architectural silhouette.

Design as Sculpture: A Legacy in Form

This pendant is not minimal. It is magnificent.
But its presence is not defined by size or scale — it’s defined by balance, geometry, and soul.

Each detail reflects the Heltzel tradition:

  • The architectural harmony of shapes, drawing from sacred geometry
  • The use of negative space to give the design breath
  • The balance of tension and release, weight and lightness

Handcrafted in 18ct yellow gold, the setting cradles the stones like a frame holds a masterpiece — secure, reverent, and never distracting from the story they tell.

This is more than a pendant. It is wearable architecture, shaped by artistry and designed for presence.

A Collaboration Between Vision and Legacy

Designed by Christopher Heltzel, this piece carries the essence of his creative lineage — a fusion of inherited mastery and personal evolution.

It is both classic and contemporary, rooted in tradition yet undeniably forward-thinking.
In this pendant, you see not only craftsmanship, but character.You feel both strength and subtlety. Fire and form.

It is a rare piece. Not just because of the gemstones — but because of the feeling it evokes.

Created to Be Remembered

It’s made to lead stories, to mark moments, to become part of someone’s personal legacy.
