Toutes les enchères / Bijouterie & Joaillerie / Glamorous Cluster Ring With Sapphires & Diamonds in White Gold, ca. 1970
"There is nothing more elegant than asymmetry." -Vivienne Westwood This exquisite white gold ring, with its precious gemstone setting, exudes the optimistic zeitgeist of post-war international modernism. Beginning in the mid-1960s, expressive arrangements with jaggedly expressive lines were popular in jewellery design, as we see here. Diamonds were popular as ever, but they were increasingly combined with coloured stones such as rubies or, in this case, deep blue sapphires. As a cluster ring typical of the time, the gem features an asymmetrical ensemble of white diamonds and sapphires on its ring face that rises like a snail shell. The sapphires are designed in an elongated navette cut, providing the radiant look that many pieces of jewellery of this period display. The gemstones are held in place by period-typical prongs, the ends of which are rounded like spheres, adding further sparkling highlights to the ring. The asymmetry of the design sets the jewellery of the period apart from earlier styles. The interplay between the quality sapphires, nearly one carat of diamonds and the high karat white gold has created a ring that still possesses a timeless elegance today. An independent certificate has confirmed the quality of the materials. Similar jewellery can also be found in David Bennet and Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, Woodbridge 2010, on page 414.
