| Place of origin |
Pavé-set brilliant-cut diamonds are used to convey the soft billowing loops of the bow, while its central knot and the tails have a more linear treatment with baguette-cut stones. Black onyx, frequently used in Art Deco jewellery to contrast with diamonds, gives extra emphasis to the ends of the 'ribbon'.
