From the TCAA 2006 Exhibition & Sale Catalog: “This lady's three-piece and hinged set was created, in Scott Hardy's words, ‘to capture both the effortless elegance plus the underlying complication of the West.’ The fully filigreed and hand-engraved set has 18K yellow gold edge and flowers with five diamond pods. Flowing from the flowers are intertwining scrolls of 18K yellow, green and 14K red gold all set on the sterling silver buckle, keeper and tip."
