Chopard’s iconic heart motif
The Happy Diamonds collection was launched in 1976 under the guidance of designer Ronald Kurowski, who was inspired by the sun’s rays glinting off water droplets in a waterfall. The founding concept centres on the freedom of the diamond, liberated from its traditional setting to reflect light from every angle. This pre-owned 18-carat white gold ring embodies this innovative vision. At its centre sits a natural brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.04 carats. This pure gemstone glides freely within a central heart motif, showcasing the craftsmanship of the Geneva-based maison.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The band of this eternity ring is characterised by a bold structure and a width of 5.8 mm. The substantial setting supports the heart motif, which incorporates the famous watchmaking and jewellery mechanism. The moving diamond is firmly held in place by a high-precision closed setting, allowing it to glide smoothly between two scratch-resistant sapphire crystals without ever scratching the glass. The ring’s finish, fully polished and rhodium-plated, gives the metal a uniform mirror-like shine.
Why choose this second-hand band ring
Purchasing this pre-owned Chopard piece represents a discerning aesthetic choice. Contemporary jewellery often tends to use lighter metal structures to optimise production costs. This particular model, reference 82/2897-20, by contrast, features a substantial amount of white gold, which has become rare on the current market. This generous use of material ensures the ring sits very comfortably on the finger and highlights the wisdom of a purchase that combines sculptural design, durability and a celebration of craftsmanship.
