This Art Deco-style colored gemstone ring is from Van Cleef & Arpels’ 2023 “Le Grand Tour” High Jewelry collection. Its design draws inspiration from the traditional half-timbered architecture of Baden-Baden, Germany. The piece is set with four iconic precious gemstones – rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds – with a central sugar-loaf cut emerald evoking the silhouette of a building’s peaked roof.
The centerpiece of the creation is a 13.35-carat sugar-loaf cut emerald of Colombian origin, prized for its rich, vivid green color and impressive presence. On either side of the primary stone, differently cut rubies and sapphires are cleverly arranged to form a geometric decorative structure, their strong color contrast providing remarkable visual tension.
It is worth noting that this piece features an ingenious convertible design offering four distinct ways to wear it. The central emerald ring can be replaced with a diamond-set ring. Alternatively, you can wear the solitaire emerald ring or the diamond ring alone, creating different styling inspirations to suit any mood.
