Cat’s Eye & 750 Yellow Gold – Certified | 12-month guarantee | On display in-store
Quartz cut into a plate exhibits an optical phenomenon linked to its crystalline structure. Known as ‘cat’s eye’ when it displays brown hues, this gemstone captures the light in a moving straight line. This second-hand ring features slabs set within an asymmetrical 18K yellow gold setting. The overall look is based on a geometric design. A creation that offers a striking contrast between the opacity of the central stone and the clarity of the surrounding gemstones.
The structure of this ring is based on a play of textures. The setting alternates between polished surfaces and fluted edges. The craftsman has set eight brilliant-cut diamonds using a closed setting. These colourless gemstones have an estimated total weight of 0.80 carats and provide a constant sparkle. This type of setting protects the girdle of each diamond and visually structures the piece. The half-band design ensures the ring is comfortable to wear despite the design’s substantial size.
Purchasing this pre-owned piece is a sensible decision. The craftsmanship involved in working with solid gold and the precision required to fit these bespoke plates demonstrate a complex technique. It is rare to find contemporary pieces offering such a balance between the density of the metal and the precision of the setting. This model represents a sound investment given the current costs of artisanal craftsmanship.
This size 51 ring bears the engraving ‘VT’ on the inside of the band. Our workshop has carried out a full polish and inspected the eight closed-set stones to ensure the diamonds are secure. The restoration of the mirror finish allows light to reflect freely off the metal. The piece shows no signs of wear. The piece is delivered in a The Swiss Collector presentation box.
