Navette-shaped rings were particularly popular at the beginning of the 20th century. Their elongated shape, reminiscent of a small boat, gave them an air of grace and, at the same time, a sense of order. This ring revisits that older design decades later. Its hallmark indicates that it was submitted to the London Assay Office in 1976. At its center is a natural sapphire in a navette cut, weighing just over half a carat. Its navette shape is surrounded by ten brilliant-cut diamonds, which frame the stone’s blue with a bright sparkle and emphasize the contour of the little boat. The 18-karat gold lends the design warmth and presence. As a result, the ring feels familiar yet is designed entirely in the spirit of its own time. This successful fusion of an older form and a later execution echoes a bon mot often attributed to Gustav Mahler: “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the passing on of the fire.” The ring preserves the romantic charm of the classic shuttle-shaped ring and brings it to life anew in 1976. We also discovered the ring in London, the city where it was created.
