Natural Saltwater Fancy Color Pearls and Fine White Diamond Modernist Ring.
About the Item
Natural color, natural pearl and diamond unusual modernist ring, circa 2000, with French marks.
Set in 18K white gold, this large well hand crafted ring appears to be gradually opening to reveal its treasures of fine natural color, natural pearls.
These natural saltwater pearls graduate from 4.8 mm on top of the ring to 1.9 mm as the side as the design moves to the side of the ring where the shank begins. In all, there are 38 natural pearls, ranging in colors from violet to pink to peach to silver and white. The pearls all have excellent luminescent, a high depth of nacre and clean surfaces - just as they had when they came out of the oyster.
This unusual ring, designed with such imagination, is a wonderful repository for these very rare and desirable pearls.
At each end of the ring there are one or three stylized folded triangles of graduated white gold each pave set with fine diamonds which seem to be set in all the interstices where the pearls are not.
In total, 144 small round brilliant cut diamonds of F/G color (colorless to near colorless) and very very slightly included to very slightly included (VVS/VS) in clarity. These well cut collection quality diamonds display all the scintillation that 3 cts of diamonds can present to the wearer.
What one realizes gazing at this ring is that it is at once classic and contemporary, simple and sophisticated, unique and sublime. The design is nothing that one has ever seen before - the piece makes you smile rather than shock or surprise you.
This ring, in excellent condition (it appears unworn) is a tour de force of jewelry design and execution. It does bear a maker's mark of OF, which is unknown to us. It also bears a French import mark. This ring is a size 7 and can be sized.
Please note our model has a medium to large size hand.
Today, a preponderance of jewelry is machine made in large factories around the world with abundant and obvious suspicions as to its enduring qualities using not only inferior stones, but also man made stones and treated stones utilizing artificial substances.
Alternatively, one can add to their jewelry collection this hand made ring brimming with imagination and artistry.
All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value by our gemologist, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a gift-wrapped fine presentation box.
Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process, we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
