Unworn Ring With Peridot & Diamonds In Gold, From Our Workshop

Pieces of jewellery with peridot are relatively rare today - yet the strong, fresh green of this gemstone is unusually beautiful and its story is worth telling. Peridot first became a much-loved fashion stone around 1890, especially in England. At that time, Egypt was under British rule - and it was there, on St. John's Island in the Red Sea, which belonged to Egypt, that the olive-green stone was first discovered and mined. At the same time, according to ancient legends, peridot was the favorite stone of the last pharaoh Cleopatra: its spring-like colour was thus associated with references to both the distant past and the present of the Empire. Today, peridots are also found in Sri Lanka, Brazil and the USA, among other places. However, all locations have the fresh and intense color of the gemstones in common, which delights at first glance. For this ring, we have selected a peridot weighing around 2.30 carats in an emerald cut, which impresses with its color intensity and clarity. Twelve brilliant-cut diamonds accompany the center stone on finely stepped ring shoulders. All stones are set in warm, radiant yellow gold. Our daily contact with historical objects led us to design the ring in the spirit of antique pieces. We took our inspiration from Art Deco jewellery, with its love of graphic, geometric shapes. We then had the design cast in gold using an old technique and refined by hand. The result is a modern ring which, with its delicate shapes and high-quality workmanship, is in the best tradition of European jewellery art.
