Noir Contrast Collection
The Noir Contrast Collection is where vintage charm meets contemporary edge. Each piece is crafted in oxidized sterling silver, creating deep shadowed tones that highlight every curve, texture, and detail. The contrast is intentional — a play between dark and light that feels modern, moody, and beautifully refined.
Layering chains bring a sleek, understated foundation, while the pavé diamond series adds a vintage‑inspired sparkle that glows even brighter against the oxidized silver. It’s the contemporary version of vintage goodness — a timeless classic you can wear for every occasion, for years to come.
Designed for stacking, mixing, and everyday elegance, Noir Contrast is jewelry that stays striking, season after season.
What is a Pavé Diamond?
Pavé diamonds are a setting style where numerous small diamonds are set closely together, creating a continuous, sparkling surface. The term "pavé" comes from the French word for "paved" or "cobblestone," reflecting the appearance of the setting. The diamonds colors used in pavé are often ranging from champagne, blue green, to gray, giving a look of vintage jewelry from the Art Deco Era.
How we use Pavé Diamond
There are many options of Pavé Diamond jewelry out there. What we do here at 314 studio is that we use Pavé Diamond charms made in India, discard all the “loops” off the charm, and treat each charm as a precious stone itself. We use bezels in fine silver or 14k yellow gold, and create frames around them in sterling silver wire. Necklace, Brooch, and Earrings designs are mostly one of a kind. (No two are the same!) Then the silver part is oxidized to blackened finish, and to be highlighted silver and gold for contrasting dramatic results.
