Van Cleef Arpels Marquise Diamond Platinum Ring GIA 5.11-carat D VVS2 VCA
By Van Cleef Arpels
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A spectacular platinum ring by Van Cleef & Arpels, featuring a GIA-graded marquise diamond complemented by two baguette diamonds. In addition to the GIA Diamond Grading Report, the ring includes a valuation by VCA. The center marquise diamond weighs over 5 carats and shows exceptional quality characteristics (see the GIA report detailed specifications). Flanking this gorgeous center stone are two smaller tapered baguette diamonds, enhancing its elegance. For those shopping for an engagement ring, this classic Van Cleef & Arpels design is an impeccable choice. The engagement ring is made of platinum and features a 5.11-carat marquise brilliant cut diamond of D color, VVS2 clarity which is stated in a GIA Diamond Grading Report that accompanies the diamond (see picture 4). The GIA Report number is engraved on the girdle of the diamond. Also, the ring comes with a VCA Valuation Report dated June 1997 and stated the retail replacement value of this ring as $90,000. This engagement ring is size 6 and can be resized. The VCA ring weighs 5.7 grams. The engagement ring is stamped with Van Cleef & Arpels maker's mark, hallmark for platinum, serial number. About Engagement Rings: The tradition of using engagement rings as a formal agreement to marry can be traced to the Roman Empire, where women wore rings to signify mutual commitment and loyalty. The modern custom of giving diamond engagement rings began in 1477. Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring, starting a trend among European nobility. However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that diamond rings became the standard symbol of engagement. This was mostly due to a famous De Beers ad campaign in the 1940s with the tagline "A Diamond is...

Hermes Paris Geometric H Logo Cocktail Ring in 18Kt Yellow Gold and Sterling
By Hermès
Located in Miami, FL
H logo ring designed by Hermes. An sculptural bypass cocktail ring, designed in Paris France by the iconic luxury house of Hermes. This iconic piece is rare and very hard to find. Has been crafted in the shape of a stylized H in solid sterling silver .925/.999 and yellow gold of 18 karats with very high polished finish. History: This story began in 1938, when Robert Dumas, a member of the Hermès family, decided to take inspiration from a ship anchor chain to design a bracelet. Thus the Chaîne d'ancre was born: a naturally balanced jewel with a sporty yet chic allure. The historic legend of this jewelry line was between 1931 and 1938. It was during this approximate decade that Monsieur Dumas wandered around the seaside, a small sketch book in hand. In 1937, he logged a design for an anchor chain, a substitute for the colossal ones used on boats. Some time later, he sketched the idea for a clasp resembling a subtle mix between a Brandebourg and a Kabig breton. Except that no fabricant wanted to make a silver style, preferring in those days to work only with gold or platinum. And so he confided the creation of the mock version to a bold man by the name of De Perçin...

Jean Després and Étienne Cournault French Modernist "Bijoux-Glace" Ring
By Jean Despres
Located in New York, NY
Composed of silver, lacquer and reverse painted and engraved crystal, this exceptional ring was a collaboration of two French modernist artists, Després and Cornault. The ring centers a glass crystal prism above a polychrome abstract-design painting in miniature by Cornault, mounted by Després within a silver and black lacquer surround, flanked by stepped and incised chevron form shoulders with subtle dark patination. Uniting an intriguing abstract painting with the geometry of interlocking planes and layered strata, this rare ring is powerful work of painterly and sculptural modernism. Product Details: Item #: R-21132 Artist: J Després and E Cornault Country: France Circa: 1930 Size: 6.75 (this ring can be sized; please contact the gallery for further information) Materials: Glace peinte/Reverse-painted crystal; Black lacquer; Silver Signed: "J. Desprès", "JD" maker's mark, French guarantee stamp for silver. Provenance: Given by the artist to his niece, and by descent in her family. Exhibition History: "Étienne Cournault (1891-1948)" at Musées de la Cour d’Or à Metz, 25 June to 24 October 1994. This ring was presented as number 94 in the exhibition catalogue. Literature: This ring appears in "Jean Després; Jeweller, Maker and Designer of the Machine Age", Thames & Hudson, 2009, by Melissa Gabardi, on p. 197. Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: This important ring is one of a small group of “Bijoux-Glaces” or “Mirror Jewels”. These jewels represent the collaboration between two French Modernist artists, Étienne Cournault (1891-1948) and Jean Després (1889-1980). Cournault was from Lorraine, and had been educated at L’Ecole de Nancy in graphic and applied arts. He was active in Paris as a painter, draughtsman, and print maker in the 1920s. Moreover, he was the premier practitioner of the rarified technique of reverse painting on crystal, which he elevated from a traditional decorative art by creating intriguing miniature paintings of Surrealist and Cubist inspiration. Cournault met Després, an accomplished silversmith who moved in the circle of Modligiani, de Chirico, Braque and Signac, when Jacques Doucet commissioned the artists to complete an ornate metal table...
