Piece of the Week: Retrouvaí’s Treasure Necklace
A new addition to the “Heirloom” collection, this one-of-a-kind piece features 32 custom-cut gemstones.
Retrouvaí’s 18-karat yellow gold “Treasure” necklace with tourmaline, tanzanite, fire opal, aquamarine, emerald, morganite, and Ethiopian opal ($135,000)
Passing down an heirloom from generation to generation is what gives a piece of jewelry its story.
The story of Retrouvaí’s “Treasure” necklace started when its family-run team of master jewelers spent over 100 hours creating it.
Each setting was built from scratch and assembled one by one in Los Angeles, said the company.

Part of the brand’s “Heirloom” collection, this one-of-a-kind piece is meant to be adored and worn for years to come.
Each of the 32 colored gemstones in the necklace were hand-selected and custom-cut before being placed in an 18-karat yellow gold, vertically grooved bezel setting.
The hefty piece contains 103.3 carats of tourmaline, 14.09 carats of tanzanite, 10.02 carats of fire opal, 10 carats of turquoise, 6.64 carats of aquamarine, 5.85 carats of emerald, 3.25 carats of morganite, and 2.8 carats of Ethiopian opal.
Every piece that Retrouvaí creates is meant to connect modernity with nostalgia, and that is prevalent in the brand’s “Treasure” necklace.
“The ultimate one-of-a-kind, this piece is a peek into my loose gemstone treasure trove,” said Retrouvaí designer Kirsty Stone.
“I always love to have a combination of semi-precious with precious colored stones, so the layout is very thoughtful. It’s a piece that you can continually rediscover for decades to come.”
Stone was a nominee for the 2023 Gem Awards in the jewelry design category.
