Fully hallmarked by the designer with metal purity, this masterpiece is a testament to Dali's fascination with gold. Retailed by Van Cleef & Arpels at Bergdorf Goodman Paris Jewels Boutique, it stands as a unique and treasured work of art with a rich history. In 1966, Salvador Dalí embarked on a creative journey, crafting two medals for the esteemed 'Monnaie de Paris' (The Paris Mint), initiating the minting of his distinctive currency—the "Dalí d'Or." Inspired by Louis XIV's Louis d'Or. Driven by a lifelong attraction to gold, Dali passionately delved into the creation of his own line of intricately engraved gold coins, each a testament to his artistic vision. The following year, Piaget unveiled a limited edition collection of watches and jewelry, featuring coins from the Dali mint. This captivating gold ring, beyond its role as jewelry, is a true work of art and history—a ½ Dalí d'Or coin, delicately mounted in a signed Piaget and VCA 18k setting adorned with European convention marks. Symbolizing Dali and his muse, Gala, these coins, crafted over a decade in collaboration with Huguenin Frères, come in four denominations, ranging from half a Dalí d'Or to five Dalí d'Or. This limited edition ensemble was presented in Paris, where Salvador Dalí, seated in a transparent inflatable chair, presided over the unveiling. _______ Ring Size Guide: UK/AU: K 1/2 USA/Canada: 6½ France: 50.25 China/Japan/India: 10 Germany/Russia/Ukraine: 16.25 Italy/Spain/Netherlands/Switzerland: 10.25 _______ Included with this purchase is the book 'Piaget' by Franco Cologni in which the Dalí d'Or is displayed. The page's contents are relayed below: Depicting himself and Gala with as well as recurring motifs such as laurel leaves and eggs - a symbol of rebirth frequently used in his work. Piaget described these pieces at the time of release as follows: From the genius of Salvador Dalí, his palette and his crucible, a new coinage has come to us – the Gold Dalí. The obverse bears the famous mustachioed 'lucky antennae' profile, inseparable from the effigy of wife Gala: 'my Gravida queller of terrors and conqueror of desire'. On the reverse, in the likeness of our own earthly sphere – the hard yet soft element – are the eggs, teeming with life in process of formation – the world of tomorrow. For Salvador Dali, the egg is so replete with meaning that it is to be found in most of his key-works. Enthralled by these captivating gold coins, emblems of art absolute from Dali's alchemistic smithy, PIAGET, the master-jewellers, have secured the sole right to combine them with their own ‘haut luxe' production. And so you will now find '5 Dali' - '2 Dali' - '1 Dali' - '½ Dali' pieces converted, as is done with antique coins, into pendants, bracelets, rings and other exclusive items. We may add that each and every Dali coin...
