Natalia Fedner has designed and made her first diamond gown. Named Erté, after one of her favorite Art Deco artists, the gown is handmade with 196 ethical lab-grown Ôvae diamonds set in 14K gold, sterling silver and copper, in collaboration with Ôvae. Fedner hopes the gown captures some of the magic of Erté's ethereal illustrations in physical form.
Completely wearable, the gown molds to the wearer's body instantaneously thanks to Fedner's patented six-way stretch technology — a second skin, made of diamonds and gold. The gown was shown at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, where the $125,000 diamond-encrusted sheath was the talk of the fair — and even caught the attention of The New Yorker.
Ôvae diamond details: round, 6.20 mm, 4.00 mm, D–E, VVS–VS, 196 stones, 9.41+, 50.76, lab grown.
