The distinctive geometry of this Cartier ring
Created in New York in 1969 by designer Aldo Cipullo, the Love collection reinterprets the industrial motif of the screw, incorporating it into jewellery. This pre-owned piece features three brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.23 carats. The colourless gemstones are set within an 18K yellow gold structure. The Cartier signature and the clean lines of this piece define a modern aesthetic. The choice of yellow gold emphasises the contrast with the diamonds and evokes the early editions of this line.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
Polished metal alternates with recessed engraved screw-head motifs. The three diamonds are held in place by a closed setting. The setting encircles each stone, aligning it flush with the outer surface. This technical integration protects the gemstones’ culets and girdles whilst maintaining the ring’s continuous line. The inner surface features a fine brushed finish.
Why choose this second-hand ring
Purchasing this piece on the second-hand market provides access to a substantial amount of gold. Current production costs for such a dense setting make this a sensible alternative. The density of the metal gives the ring a substantial feel on the finger. This purchase guarantees a historic jewellery design that remains relevant today.
