Some pieces of jewellery live solely from the sparkle of their gemstones – the setting is then of secondary visual importance, serving only to showcase the precious adornment. Others, by contrast, use gemstones to enliven intricate creations of precious metal with touches of colour. And then there is a third kind of jewel, in which a finely wrought setting and a fine stone enter into both an artistic and a thematic dialogue, standing side by side as equals. Such a jewel is the ring presented here. The platinum setting is delicately pierced, revealing itself as an elegant composition of foliage, reminiscent of a William Morris tapestry or the illumination of a medieval manuscript. Each individual leaf has been sawn out by hand and given a millegriffe texture, creating a marvellous play of light and shadow. When this ring, dating from around 1920, came into our hands, it fell to us to choose a new stone for the antique setting, for the original gem – a synthetic one – had been broken. We allowed ourselves to be guided by the leaf design and selected a clear green heliodor in the colour of a sunlit spring forest. This gemstone, a variety of beryl, belongs to the same family as aquamarine and emerald: it has the radiant brilliance of fine aquamarines, recalling the reflections of light on water, yet displays a subtler, lighter shade of green than the emerald. An unusual jewel, one that reveals new details with every glance.
