Cartier Paris "Les Délices de Goa" Boule Ring

Dating from circa 2003, this Cartier Paris "Les Délices de Goa" boule ring is composed of amethyst, coral and diamonds. The high-domed boule ring is set with variously sized orange coral and amethyst beads, some studded with round brilliant-cut diamonds. In the tradition of the firm's great Indian-themed 1930s jewelry inspired by Jeanne Toussaint, this dramatic and beautifully engineered update to Cartier's iconic boule ring attests to the firm's ongoing creativity and virtuoso technique.
