The distinctive geometry of this Piaget ring
During the 1990s, Piaget favoured bold, substantial designs. At the centre of the design, a natural heart-cut citrine weighing approximately 3.50 carats displays an amber-yellow hue. Its geometric facets ensure the gem’s transparency. Released in 1996, this 18-carat yellow gold piece is a second-hand jewel with a striking presence.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The substantial setting has a domed profile. The body of the ring gradually flares out towards the top to accommodate the stone’s volume, whilst the lower base of the band tapers slightly to a point. The citrine is held in place by a full bezel setting. The application of this continuous gold band around the gemstone requires precise technical skill to protect the edges and frame the shape. The entire piece features a polished finish.
Why choose this second-hand ring
Opting for this second-hand piece allows you to acquire a piece representative of the jewellery of that era, which is characterised by a generous use of solid gold. Creating a setting of this thickness today would involve significant costs in terms of materials and craftsmanship. This option offers a substantial amount of gold and a meticulous finish.
