When we set out to design this coin, we were captivated by the unique beauty of each diamond - square, round, oval, cushion and heart. Each one has its own character, its own sparkle, and we wanted to honour that. Drawing on the narrative we've built through the entire series of Purely Brilliant coins, we imagined these final designs as sound waves or tree rings, each one radiating out from a central point. We wanted each ring to tell its own story, yet be unified and complement the others, creating a cohesive celebration of the series. This coin – it's the grand finale. It's where the individual stories of the previous coins and their diamond cuts come together into one harmonious narrative. In the end, we hope that each person who holds this coin can feel the unity and harmony we've strived to capture, and appreciate the collective journey of the series that culminates in this beautiful, cohesive whole.

When it comes to producing a dimensional sculpture from a flat drawing, engravers are sometimes given artistic license to create dynamic shadows and raised surface details – we get to decide what goes up and what goes down, so to speak. For this, the grand finale of our Purely Brilliant series, I had to achieve maximum visual impact without increasing the relief height. By adding details and making use of various frostings, I played up some of the engraved facets to create the illusion of height, and I kept them shiny to complement the brilliance of the diamonds. The gems were so big, we needed to make a lot of adjustments along the way to achieve optimal balance; ultimately, we landed on the perfect sizing and positioning of all the different elements that make this a showstopper.
