The imperial brilliance of this Pomellato amethyst cabochon solitaire
Amethyst, since Antiquity, has been the gem of temperance and clarity. It was particularly favoured by Queen Catherine of Russia, who incorporated it into her most sumptuous tiaras. This pre-owned jewellery item from the M'ama non M'ama collection features a cabochon of amethyst in a deep translucent violet, with an estimated gem volume of 1.30 carats. Its round cabochon cut maximises the intensity of the colour beneath a perfectly polished dome. The ring is crafted in solid 18-carat pink gold. The engraved reference C140011132 attests to its unique authenticity.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The architecture of this ring is based on an innovative tension setting. The smooth gold ring pinches the stone on its flanks, eliminating it from any classic claws. This raised technical architecture frees the gem from the hindrance of the metal on its upper and lower poles, thereby multiplying the luminous penetration and perceived volume of the 1.30 carat cabochon. The body of the ring, thin in cross-section but endowed with a high degree of rigidity, is made in a massive, generous setting offering an assertive presence.
Why this second-hand pre-owned ring
Acquiring this Milanese creation second-hand represents an informed and aesthetic approach. It offers access to the prestige of the House of Pomellato and to surgically precise craftsmanship with a particularly advantageous volume/total caratage ratio. The cost of manufacturing such a structure in solid rose gold would be considerably higher today, making this collector's piece a strategic hedonistic investment for lovers of timeless design.
