The sculptural elegance of this Onde ring
Founded in Geneva in 1993, Grisogono has established an architectural and uninhibited vision of fine jewellery. The Onde collection perfectly illustrates this approach by capturing the fluid movement of drapery in this precious material. This pre-owned piece features a generous structure in 18-carat white gold. The edges of the setting are accentuated by approximately 2.00 carats of natural brilliant-cut diamonds. These gemstones boast an ‘Extra White’ colour grade of F-G and a remarkable clarity of VVS-VS. Reference number B 28244 identifies this bold creation within the brand’s archives.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The integrity of the setting rests on five asymmetrical bands, layered one upon the other and connected by a rigid lower bridge. The linear grain setting precisely follows the curves of the gold to hold each stone firmly in place. This technique requires great dexterity to align the diamonds on undulating surfaces. The contrast between the dazzling pavé setting and the full mirror polish of the white gold defines the piece’s volumes.
Why choose this second-hand cocktail ring
Choosing such a sculptural piece second-hand is a sign of discerning aesthetic judgement. The exceptional density of the metal and the time devoted to the complex setting represent a level of craftsmanship whose cost would be particularly prohibitive in contemporary production. The volume offered by this creation ensures a striking presence on the finger whilst retaining absolute elegance.
