The perpetual motion of the iconic Possession
The Possession collection from the House of Piaget was born in 1990 with the bold technical idea of a ring rotating freely around a central axis. This pre-owned ring from 1997 is a perfect illustration of this creative period. It features an extremely solid 18-carat yellow gold setting. Its mobile ring features bevelled sections into which 42 brilliant-cut diamonds are inserted. The total weight of these gems is estimated at 0.336 carats. The ensemble offers a geometric brilliance characteristic of the jewellery productions of this decade.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The construction of this piece requires absolute mastery of volumes. To allow the outer ring to rotate smoothly, the ring's internal structure requires a considerable thickness of gold. The 42 diamonds are set in a recessed setting inside facets cut into the metal. This technique protects the stones while ensuring an uninterrupted line of light during rotation. The polishing of the yellow gold accentuates the contrast with the brilliance of the brilliants.
Why this second-hand ring
Acquiring a Piaget piece from the 1990s represents a relevant approach for lovers of fine jewellery. The manufacturing standards of that era imposed a gold density far superior to contemporary productions, which are often lighter. This volume gives a luxurious inertia to the finger. Opting for this piece of jewellery allows you to obtain a level of finish and material density that is unattainable today at the same price conditions on the new market.
