The perfect pink hue is thanks to diamond powder pigment and 24K gold powder.

There’s no denying the cool vintage factor of the Baignoire. This smaller iteration of the icon casually blurs the lines between timepieces and jewelry.
The unique shape of this piece is sure to garner its fair share of compliments. That’s when you can tell the admirer that the diamond was grown from crystallized greenhouse gas in the brand’s lab right here in the U.S.
