L'éclat Marguerite: tradition and ruby presence
Appearing during the Victorian era, the daisy motif was designed to reproduce the floral blossom while amplifying the visual presence of the central gem. This second-hand jewel is a rigorous continuation of this jewellery tradition. It features two oval-cut natural rubies, totalling an estimated weight of 2.20 carats, or 1.10 carats for each stone. Their intense red hue, with subtle pink nuances, reveals the natural inclusions inherent in their crystallisation. The setting is crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold, a classic alloy whose warmth exalts the deep fire of the precious stones.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The structure of these earrings rests on a cleverly openwork conical basket. This technique offers a voluminous, rigid setting while retaining absolute lightness when worn. Each central ruby is held in a raised position by 4 frank claws, an arrangement designed to optimise the circulation of light under the breech. The peripheral corolla is set with a homogeneous pavement of 20 brilliant-cut diamonds, 10 per earring. This halo, with a total weight of around 0.50 carat, is set in a shared claw setting. The gold, carefully polished, frames each gem and accentuates the contrast of the materials.
Why these second-hand earrings
Acquiring a second-hand daisy set represents an informed aesthetic approach. These days, making a bespoke openwork basket like this requires a substantial investment in the workshop. This pair offers an exceptional balance between the quality of the craftsmanship and the gemological volume, with a total of almost 2.70 carats of precious stones. The timeless allure of this architecture guarantees undeniable stylistic relevance.
