There is a certain kind of sparkle that belongs only to the Belle Époque, flecks of starlight held in place by deft hands and long-gone evenings. In this elongated oval of midnight and ice, two twilight sapphires gaze across a constellation of old-cut diamonds, as though exchanging secrets under the hush of Parisian gaslight. It is elegant the way poetry is elegant, effortless, perfectly measured, and filled with something that feels like memory.
Handcrafted in France around 1890, this ring is composed of 18 karat gold with a platinum topped setting, bearing French mask and owl hallmarks for precious metal content. Its marquise face hosts 35 old-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.97 carats, with two sapphires at roughly 3.5 × 3.5 × 1.2 mm and 3.5 × 3.5 × 2.0 mm. The ring measures about 20 × 11.6 × 6.2 mm overall, with a 2.1 mm band, weighing 5.35 grams, and is currently a US size 7.5.
There’s a kind of romance here that requires no explanation. Slip it on and it feels immediately at home, as though it has been waiting for you across time.
