The chromatic intensity of the rail setting
The rail setting revolutionised jewellery codes during the Art Deco period in the 1920s by allowing gems to be aligned fluidly, without the visual interruption of claws. This second-hand full-length tour wedding ring makes this demanding technique its own. It features a continuous line of 25 square-cut sapphires with an estimated total volume of 3.75 carats. The deep, vibrant blue of the gems creates a stark chromatic contrast with the warmth of the 18-carat yellow gold setting. A resolutely geometric look.
Architecture and jewellery-making expertise
The creation of this piece is based on the complexity of its rail setting. The 25 sapphires are calibrated with millimetre precision to fit edge-to-edge between the two yellow gold walls, creating an uninterrupted mineral ribbon. This method effectively protects the sides of the stones on a daily basis. The inner structure of the ring is meticulously openworked: square openings are cut under each sapphire to let the light shine through the stones' breeches and bring out their colour. The flat profiles of the ring benefit from full polishing.
Why this second-hand wedding ring
Opting for a full round of calibrated sapphires on the second-hand market is a strategic choice. In contemporary jewellery, cutting 25 gems to size so that they fit perfectly without space requires particularly expensive labour time. Acquiring this piece means you can obtain a high-quality setting and a volume of 3.75 carats of sapphires at an extremely competitive price. The density of its structure guarantees that it will be robust when worn.
