BALLERINA RING WITH PEARL AND DIAMONDS, 0.70 CT

The sculptural elegance of the ballerina setting

First appearing in the mid-20th century, the ballerina setting draws direct inspiration from the flowing tutus of classical ballet, creating a radiant volume around a central gemstone. This classic design showcases a cultured pearl measuring 9.8 mm in diameter, with a white lustre and silvery highlights. The piece is set in an 18K white gold mount. This pre-owned piece of jewellery exemplifies complex technical mastery in the service of a timeless aesthetic.

Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship

The smooth, polished band extends into an elaborate openwork setting. The central pearl is encircled by a wreath of diamonds forming an asymmetrical, textured halo. This design alternates between brilliant-cut diamonds and baguette- and trapezoid-cut diamonds, arranged in a fan-like pattern. The pavé setting has an estimated total weight of 0.70 carats. The white gold structure, combined with the multi-prong setting, maximises the way light is captured on the parallel and concentric facets of the stones.

Why choose this second-hand ring

Purchasing this classic design second-hand is a highly discerning aesthetic choice. Creating a ballerina setting requires meticulous calibration of the trapezoid-cut diamonds to perfectly follow the central curve – a craftsmanship whose contemporary cost is particularly high. The high density of solid gold in this setting guarantees lasting structural integrity. This piece offers a perfect balance between the organic volume of the pearl and the geometric precision of the diamonds.
