The distinctive style of this white gold solitaire
The bezel setting is one of the most reliable traditional jewellery-making techniques. It provides structural protection for the gemstone whilst maintaining a clean, geometric line. This pre-owned solitaire exemplifies this technical approach. It combines a 1.00-carat natural brilliant-cut diamond, colour H and clarity P1, with a bespoke setting. Entrusted to the Geneva-based workshops of Kurz and Bader in 2014, this special commission incorporates a stone originally acquired in 2009. The 18-carat white gold ring exudes a discreet yet confident presence.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting features a precise geometric design. The band widens gradually as it approaches the central motif. The diamond is held in place by a precision-crafted bezel setting. A continuous band of metal encircles the stone. The base of this cylinder remains open and openwork. This design allows light to pass through the diamond’s culet whilst ensuring a secure hold for everyday wear.
Why choose this pre-owned solitaire
Purchasing this pre-owned piece is a discerning aesthetic choice. It offers the opportunity to own a one-carat diamond set in a creation crafted by Geneva artisans. Commissioning such a bespoke piece today would involve significant production lead times. This solitaire combines the precision of Swiss craftsmanship with the immediacy of a second-hand purchase.
