French "Pompadour" Oval Sapphire Ring with Rose Cut Diamonds
-
Description
This exquisite ring embodies the elegance of the French "pompadour" style, a design often associated with sophistication and a touch of romantic flair. 1 At its heart lies a captivating oval-cut natural sapphire, boasting a rich, deep blue hue and weighing approximately 5 carats. The sapphire is beautifully enhanced by the sparkle of rose-cut diamonds, totaling .50 carats. These diamonds, with their flat bases and multiple triangular facets, create a subtle yet enchanting brilliance.
The central sapphire is framed by not one, but two delicate borders forming a double entourage. This design element further accentuates the vibrant blue of the sapphire and adds significant visual texture and light. The setting features a platinum top, a precious metal prized for its durability and luminous white sheen, which perfectly complements the diamonds. The mounting is crafted in warm 18K yellow gold, providing a lovely contrast and contributing to the ring's antique charm.
Adding to its provenance and authenticity are the French hallmarks, indicating its origin and likely dating it to the period of C. 1910-1920. This era, known for its intricate jewelry designs, is beautifully represented in this piece. This ring is not just a piece of jewelry but a wearable piece of history, showcasing fine craftsmanship and timeless design. - More Information
