About the Item

A ring designed by Cartier. This is a gorgeous ring created in Paris France by the jewelry house of Cartier, back in the 1970. The ring is rare and was carefully crafted at the jewelry atelier of Andre Vassort in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with very high polished finish. It is embellished with a great selection of natural gemstones, such one carving in black onyx and thirty-four earth mined natural white colorless diamonds. Diamonds: Mount in a pave setting, with 34 round brilliant cut diamonds, with a total weight of about 1.36 carats, white colorless E/F color, VVS clarity Onyx: Mount in a bezel setting, with 1 curved fancy cabochon cut carved from natural black onyx with a weight of about 2 carats. Weight: 6.3 Grams, (4.05 Dwt). Size: 6.25 and may be resized up or down on special request. Measurements: 23 mm by 8 mm (0.91 x 0.31 Inches) and raise 6 mm over the finger. Hallmarks: The ring is beautifully stamped with French marks; the national mark of the eagle's head for the assay and warranty of the 18kt gold, the maker's maître mark AV inside a lozenge cartouche associated to Andre Vassort, the six-digits serial numbers and signed in full as follow, "CARTIER PARIS .750 021-345 AV". André Vassort Little is known about this French jeweler, which is so often the case with the craftsmen and workshops behind the famous jewelry houses of the Place Vendôme. All around Paris, tucked away in discreet buildings, skilled and highly creative master craftsmen work anonymously for their high-profile clients. One such building was 34 Rue Sainte Anne, where André Vassort set up his workshop, Atelier Vassort, registering his business and maker’s mark in December 1955. He quickly became one of the most recognized and sought after manufacturers of high-quality French jewelry in the mid-20th Century. Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Mauboussin, among others, trusted him not only with creating their own fine jewels but also with special commissions for clients. Frequently these clients would include Royalty of both the West and East as well as Hollywood legends. A particular creation of note is the spectacular emerald, ruby, pearl and diamond crown made on behalf of Van Cleef & Arpels for the coronation of Empress Farah of Iran. He specialized in working with gold and drawing out warmth, movement and texture from the metal but also worked in platinum and across the board in terms of gemstones. His workshop grew to be one of the largest in Paris and alongside his loyal and experienced craftsmen he also employed apprentices. One of these recalls starting at the bench at just 17 years old and spending years learning from experts ‘in the pure artistic tradition’. Much of his jewelry would never have been marked so will remain ‘unknown’ to all except those who made it. However, sometimes his mark appears alongside the signature of one of his famous client’s and occasionally it is seen on its own. When Louis Gérard left Van Cleef & Arpels to start his own company, M. Gérard, in 1968, he chose to use his former employer’s workshop to create his jewelry. Over the next twenty years, Andre Vassort would produce some spectacular jewels for Gérard whose pieces are often noted for their superb manufacture. The Atelier closed in the early 1990’s but not before establishing itself as one of the most important manufacturers of French jewelry of the mid-late 20th Century. Whether you see it on a Boucheron bracelet, a Van Cleef & Arpels sautoir or a pair of Vassort ear clips, the mark of André Vassort is a mark of quality craftsmanship and fine jewelry.
