High jewellery is the sum of many unique features: stones, goldsmith, the workmanship that makes impossible dreams tangible.
The secret lies in the essentiality, the design, the maniacal attention to detail that becomes the unique feature of a maison but also of a taste, an era, with its trends, social conventions and social status, reaffirmed through an object that enshrines the essence of luxury. Magnificence is presented in its absolute simplicity. It is is not short-lived as in the fashion world but rather enjoys the eternal time of history. An example is a ring with an octagonal cut diamond weighing 10.63 carats, colour D, purity VVS2, with GIA certificate or a ring from 1930 in platinum with an octagonal cut sapphire weighing about 23.50 carats, coming from Ceylon, not heat-treated. Magnificent in its sober opulence is a set of silver, emeralds and diamonds from the late nineteenth century, which is distinguished by the daisy pattern of stones, uniform in size and quality, and a platinum ring, diamonds that frame a natural and rare pink Conch ten-millimetre pearl.
Masterpieces to be loved in their essential elegance. The feeling of possessing a fragment of eternal and sparkling grace is simply unparalleled.
