The art of reinterpretation by Cartier
Created in 1970s New York by designer Aldo Cipullo, the Juste un Clou collection breaks free from traditional conventions. The underlying concept is to transform a raw object into a piece of jewellery. This second-hand ring embodies this philosophy with its asymmetrical tubular silhouette in 18-carat yellow gold. The classic model, reference CRB4216900, frames the space around the finger with a bold presence, emphasised by the purity of its lines and the contrasting sparkle of its pavé setting.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The tubular setting reveals meticulous craftsmanship in the curvature of the metal. The yellow gold features a mirror-polished finish to maximise light reflection. On the flat head of the stud and along its tapered tip, the Maison’s artisans have set 22 brilliant-cut white diamonds. These gemstones, totalling approximately 0.13 carats, are set flush to follow the curve of the profile without altering the piece’s geometric fluidity.
Why choose this pre-owned ring
Purchasing a creation of this calibre on the pre-owned market is a shrewd move. This piece offers substantial gold content and a distinctive design, combined with the prestige of a leading jewellery house. Given the costs of contemporary production, this choice provides access to a design whose status-symbol appeal remains relevant over the decades.
