0.45 CT DIAMOND BOW TIE RING

The timeless appeal of the Sévigné motif

First appearing at the court of Versailles in the 17th century, the bow motif has established itself as a jewellery classic. This pre-owned ring reinterprets this design with a fluid yet controlled asymmetry. Crafted in 750 white gold, it is set with 11 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling approximately 0.45 carats. The gemstones discreetly emphasise the curves of the ribbon, lending the piece an understated elegance.

Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship

The structure of this piece is based on openwork wires that support the central motif. The 11 diamonds are set into the gold using a recessed grain setting, a technique that holds the stones firmly in place whilst ensuring a smooth feel to the touch. This design choice ensures an even refraction of light along the asymmetrical loops whilst protecting the gemstones in everyday wear.

Why choose this pre-owned ring

Acquiring a piece of jewellery featuring this level of finish and such a substantial amount of solid gold requires a significant investment in bespoke craftsmanship. The second-hand market offers the opportunity to access this quality of hand-setting and precision craftsmanship at a fair price, whilst supporting a circular approach.
