The architectural aesthetic of a Fillner Schmuck creation
The Swiss jewellery house Fillner Schmuck, based in the cantons of Lucerne and Nidwalden, has built its reputation on its ability to combine traditional Swiss craftsmanship with contemporary designs. This second-hand piece of jewellery illustrates this approach through its asymmetrical design. The piece is crafted from 950 platinum and features a row of 23 natural brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of 0.60 carats. The colourless, transparent gemstones are set within a structure of great geometric precision. The overall look of this wedding ring is based on a precise balance between the density of the matt metal and the sparkle of the set stones.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The design centres on a substantial band measuring 9.6 millimetres in width. This choice of dimensions gives the platinum a substantial presence and a stable fit on the finger. The outer surface features a brushed finish characterised by fine transverse striations, contrasting with the polished inner surface. The 23 brilliant-cut diamonds are held in place by an off-centre rail setting positioned along a single edge of the ring. This technique protects the stone settings whilst emphasising the design. The inner surface of the setting is perforated with regular circular holes beneath each stone setting to maximise the passage of light.
Why choose this second-hand wedding ring
The contemporary craftsmanship involved in creating a ring featuring such a substantial amount of platinum entails very high manufacturing and raw material costs. Choosing this piece offers the opportunity to acquire a bespoke creation by a Swiss jewellery artisan, whilst benefiting from a substantial quantity of precious metal for a sensible investment. The combination of solid platinum and set diamonds ensures optimal structural strength, making it suitable for everyday wear.
Contents and condition
The internal engravings reveal the metal’s fineness, marked ‘Pt 950’, accompanied by the master’s hallmark. The ring is available in size 58. Any resizing would require the expertise of a specialist workshop due to the surface finish and the continuous setting.
