The bold asymmetry of the Peekaboo collection
Founded in 1888 in Lucerne, Bucherer has made a name for itself through its unwavering technical excellence in the crafting of coloured gemstones. The Peekaboo collection moves away from traditional designs to embrace a bold asymmetry, conceived to celebrate spontaneity. This solitaire ring showcases a brilliant-cut aquamarine weighing approximately 1.70 carats. Part of the beryl family, the gemstone boasts a crystalline, transparent pastel blue hue. The 18-carat rose gold setting lends a mineral warmth that emphasises the stone’s freshness. This pre-owned piece is part of a contemporary range, with reference number 1301-820-9, designed for comfortable, everyday wear.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting’s architecture is distinguished by a completely unconventional mounting. The aquamarine rests on an open bezel subtly supported by three slender prongs. One of these prongs is deliberately widened to form a rounded lobe that rests delicately on the edge of the central stone. This extension features nine small brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of approximately 0.04 carats. The tubular structure, crafted from round wire, offers great visual and physical lightness. The grain-set diamonds create a textured area of sparkle that skilfully contrasts with the full mirror polish of the rose gold.
Why choose this second-hand ring
Acquiring this Bucherer piece represents a discerning choice in jewellery. It offers direct access to a contemporary Swiss design featuring a generously sized gemstone for a moderate investment. The balanced proportions of the aquamarine and the slenderness of the band make it an ideal and comfortable piece to wear next to the skin. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find such a unique design combining rose gold and aquamarine in current collections without resorting to special commissions, which are often costly.
