The lavish residence crowns the uppermost floors of Waldorf Astoria Residences Ras Al Khaimah’s beachfront tower. 

A recent unveiling of its Sky Palace triplex at the Waldorf Astoria Residences Ras Al Khaimah – the only residence of its kind in the Northern Emirates – revealed an ultra-elite space that spans the full 21st to 23rd floors of the resort.

Sky Palace has been designed for those demanding the highest expression of privacy, prestige, and permanence. The three-level complex has an impressive floor space of 9,784 sq ft, with floor-to-ceiling windows that grant unparalleled views of the Arabian Gulf, Al Marjan Island, and the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan.

Inside, exquisite marble floors, earthy colors, and inviting furnishings curate the space at the seven-star address. Throughout, it’s been fitted with a high-end, smart-home system and state-of-the-art appliances designed to assist with modern living.

The privileges are exactly what one would expect from a property priced at AED 130 million (approx. $35.4m). They include an expansive, panoramic terrace with a private pool; a private internal lift connecting all three levels of the triplex; a VIP lift from the ground floor to the residence; a private wellness suite including a gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam room; and priority access across the resort’s fine dining restaurants, longevity spa, cigar lounge, private beach, and yacht club destinations. Dedicated butler and round-the-clock concierge service is, of course, part of the package.

Expected to be seen as an architectural icon in Ras Al Khaimah’s skyline, Al Hamra’s group chief executive officer, Benoy J Kurien stated: “The Sky Palace is more than a residence – it is a global statement of rarity and refinement. It reflects not only Waldorf Astoria’s legacy of elegance, but also Ras Al Khaimah’s transformation into one of the region’s most desirable destinations for luxury living.”

Speaking previously about the launch of Waldorf Astoria Residences in Ras Al Khaimah, set to open in 2026, Kurien added that it “reflects a growing preference for high-end luxury living and exclusive services in the Northern Emirates, [highlighting] increasing confidence from global investors in the Emirates’ progress and desire to make it their home.”

These are the jewelry experts to entrust with turning old treasures into modern wearables. 

A new cut, setting, or design vision can breathe fresh life into pieces that have passed through generations. In this guide, we spotlight the masterful specialists worthy of your trust for jewelry remodeling. 

Brent Neale, New York

Brent Neale has a talent for infusing warmth, whimsy and wearability into serious stones. When a client brought in her late mother’s four-carat yellow-diamond ring, Neale reimagined it as a wildflower pendant, surrounded by white bezel-set diamonds. She takes the formality out of prong-set designs by cradling stones in gold bezels.

“Bezels make stones less fragile and less fussy,” says Neale, who, as a mother of three, understands the need for sturdy jewelry you can live in. She often encourages clients to reset diamonds alongside colored gemstones, like the unexpected pairing of a square-shaped diamond with a round blue sapphire. “The beautiful thing about redesigning diamond jewelry,” she says, “is that you can always change it again. Jewelry should evolve with you.”

Sarah Ysabel Narici, New York

Sarah Ysabel Narici thrives on a creative challenge. Rather than sticking to one aesthetic, the British-Italian jeweler, now based in NYC with her brand DYNE, lets each piece evolve around her clients’ heirloom diamonds.

“I want to understand their world, tap into the stone’s sentiment and use their inspiration to get me excited,” she says. She’s known for unconventional settings, intricate details, and concealed engravings, like the tiny butterflies etched inside a newly transformed ring.

Ming Lampson, London

When a client brought Ming Lampson a seven-carat diamond pendant, she thought it was such a gorgeous white stone that it needed a bold casing to show it off. She proposed a striking, deep-green enamel setting. “It felt modern and brave,” she says.

Lampson doesn’t impose a signature style on her clients’ pieces. Instead, she studies each stone and lets it guide her. “I take it out of its setting, reflect on it, and think, ‘How can I enhance this?’” Her designs balance boldness with intimacy, and above all, “they must spark joy.”

Dries Criel, Antwerp

“People come to me when they want something bold, graphic, with a pop of color,” says Belgian designer Dries Criel. He uses his design language of sculpted and textured yellow-gold pieces with geometric enamel patterns in new ways for bespoke commissions.

Most often, clients want him to remake their traditional solitaire engagement rings into striking, modern designs. One example: He recast a prong-set stone in a sculpted sandblasted gold ring with a vivid blue enamel pattern. “It’s powerful, but not flashy,” he says.

Jessica McCormack, London and New York

Jessica McCormack is becoming the definitive name for modern diamond designs with an enviously easy aesthetic. McCormack herself embodies laid-back luxury: she often wears a uniform of crisp blouses and faded denim with statement jewels, like a spectacular eight-carat diamond pendant swinging on a long gold chain — proof that serious diamonds don’t need to be formal or fussy.

She recently turned a Victorian-era diamond floral brooch into her signature Gypset earrings and pendant (Georgian-style button-back diamonds) and transformed a client’s post-divorce prong-set diamond into a bold, high-polish gold cocktail ring. “I only make things I would wear myself,” she says.
