Yellow gold, Sapphire & Diamond headband ring - c. 1980

Crossed lines, captured glances

Description

The piece presented here is a ring in 18-carat yellow gold. Alternating strips of calibrated sapphires (2 carats) and diamonds (0.88 carat) intertwine on either side of a central diamond in a closed setting. A band whose lines harmoniously interlace the finger.

A graphic play where the brilliance of the diamonds echoes the deep blue of the sapphires. Thanks to masterful craftsmanship, the finesse of the setting and design blends naturally with the volumes of the piece. A perfect balance that creates a piece of great volume and elegance. A daring piece of jewellery with a distinctly vintage feel, for those who want to make a distinctive style statement.

Why did Françoise choose it?

The ring is often considered to be our favourite piece of jewellery. And with good reason: it's the only piece, along with bracelets, that you can see on yourself. The ring therefore reveals all the more about our personality, our tastes and our mood. If rings are so symbolic, why not turn to unsigned, unique models that are different from the ones you see on others?

Of course, when we think of choosing a piece of jewellery, the names of the major Maisons often come to mind. But the world of jewellery is full of unsigned creations whose craftsmanship deserves our full attention. Such is the case with this ring, with its particularly refined details and unique design. The central diamond is present as if it were the heart of the ring, as if it gave life to the movement of the sapphires and diamonds. It is from this diamond that all the dynamism of the piece is born. Thanks to its wide band, it dresses up the phalanx and its originality is sure to catch the eye.

Françoise likes to wear it in a more original way, on the middle finger, but it's a ring that will find its place on your hand, whatever finger you choose.
