The sculptural audacity of this Mauboussin ring
Founded in 1827, the Maison Mauboussin distinguished itself on place Vendôme through its generous and uninhibited creations. This cocktail ring perfectly illustrates that audacious vision through a strong geometric design. At its centre sits an intense blue topaz, cushion-cut with cut corners. This 7.76-carat gem captures the light with absolute clarity, offering deep aquatic reflections. Crafted in 18-carat white gold, this second-hand piece asserts a resolutely contemporary presence.
Architecture and jewellery savoir-faire
The architecture of this setting is based on a play of lines that are both fluid and solidly structured. The ring body flares to form 2 interlaced branches, creating a generous seat on the finger. These white gold ribbons are meticulously enhanced by a grain micro-setting holding a pavé of brilliant-cut diamonds, with a total weight estimated between 0.15 and 0.20 carat, of G/VS quality. The central topaz is firmly held by 4 imposing chevron claws. This raised basket ensures optimal light penetration into the pavilion of the stone. The whole benefits from an impeccable mirror-polished finish and radiant rhodium plating.
Why this second-hand cocktail ring
Acquiring a cocktail ring from place Vendôme on the pre-owned market represents a choice that is both aesthetic and particularly discerning. The cost of current luxury craftsmanship, combined with the demands of shaping such a substantial setting, makes buying second-hand extremely relevant. Finding a gem approaching 8 carats today requires a considerable investment in boutique. This piece therefore offers the opportunity to add to your collection a generous volume of gold and complex jewellery savoir-faire at a very fair price.
