The geometry of the continuous setting
The grain setting technique was originally developed to make the metal visually disappear in favour of the gemstones. This method requires great precision to arrange the stones side by side without any visible gaps. This second-hand, unmarked evening ring illustrates this principle. It features a voluminous 750 white gold setting, whose intersecting lines form an asymmetrical structure. The upper surface is entirely covered with brilliant-cut diamonds totalling approximately 2.00 carats.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The structure is based on the interlacing of wide metal bands. The setting holds each diamond firmly in place whilst minimising the visibility of the metal. This dense mesh concentrates the reflection on the crossed domes of the setting. The inside of the ring features a brushed finish to ensure a comfortable fit, whilst the outer surface has a uniform mirror polish.
Why choose this second-hand evening ring
Purchasing an unsigned piece of jewellery allows you to focus on the intrinsic value of the materials and the craftsmanship. Creating a setting of this density on a substantial mount requires a significant amount of workshop time. This piece offers direct access to a substantial quantity of diamonds and meticulous craftsmanship, whilst remaining consistent with contemporary designs.
