The Geometric Legacy
The use of octagonal shapes in jewellery reached its peak during the Art Deco period, which emphasised bold lines and symmetry. This second-hand, unsigned ring draws on this architectural vocabulary through an 18-carat white gold setting. At its centre sits a natural round-cut sapphire weighing approximately 0.60 carats. The gemstone displays a vivid blue hue and remarkable clarity. It is framed by a geometric setting and diamond-set shoulders.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The structure of this ring is based on a raised central setting with four substantial prongs securing the sapphire. The surrounding setting takes an octagonal shape, defined by fine metal partitions housing the diamonds. This line flows seamlessly onto the shoulders of the ring’s body. The pavé setting comprises 18 brilliant-cut diamonds, with an estimated total weight of 0.25 carats. The densely set mount features a full mirror polish that emphasises the sharpness of the main design’s edges.
