The geometric rigour of this Art Deco-inspired ring
The aesthetic of the 1920s profoundly influenced jewellery, imposing clean architectural lines and polygonal structures in place of classic ornamentation. This pre-owned ring is a direct descendant of this great geometric tradition. It features a round-cut natural pink sapphire weighing around 0.61 carat. This corundum offers a bold colour that contrasts remarkably with the rigour of its 18-carat yellow gold setting. The octagonal design of the ring head alters the perception of the central gem to impose a very assertive graphic profile.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The design of this setting illustrates precise technical execution. The central sapphire is firmly secured by 4 flat claws positioned above a fully openworked lower basket. This opening under the breech is technically necessary to maximise the light refraction of the coloured stone. The octagonal corolla and the shoulders of the ring body are set with 18 brilliant-cut diamonds representing a total weight of approximately 0.20 carat. The choice of a raised setting amplifies the volume of the diamond plate. The ring's demi-jonc profile ensures an excellent everyday fit.
Why this second-hand surround ring
Making the choice of this second-hand surround ring is a wise jewellery decision. In the face of modern manufacturing methods that are often slimmed down, this creation retains an extremely plush structure and a volume of precious metal that is very reassuring. Opting for this piece allows you to acquire a complex assembly combining a coloured centre gem with a diamond halo at a level of accessibility that contemporary workshop manufacture would render obsolete. This is the assurance of traditional French craftsmanship designed to withstand regular wear.
