The Necklace
Dubbed the Bloem Collier, the piece anchors eight tourmalines totaling 240.56 carats, crowned by a 65.85-carat center gem. Twenty-seven Australian South Sea baroque pearls, white and brown diamonds, plus blue, pink, purple sapphires, pink tourmalines, amethysts and rubellites complete the floral-inspired design set in 18K yellow gold.
McKinney created only four for her 2025 TEFAF Maastricht debut.
