• About the artwork

  A fascinating Baroque treasure, this 18K yellow gold ring is a testament to the period's intricate artistry. At its heart are two slightly larger table-cut diamonds, each surrounded by smaller diamonds arranged to form cross-like motifs. These “blooms”are placed so closely together that they share a single connecting setting, creating a unique interplay of overlapping forms. Positioned perpendicular to the band, this striking design captures the essence of 17th-century jewellery craftsmanship. Imagine the wonder of wearing such an extraordinary piece, steeped in over three centuries of history.

  Style specifics
  Baroque is a style in art and decoration that developed shortly before 1600 and remained current in Europe until the emergence of the Rococo style c.1730. It was started in Italy, and spread to Germany, Austria, the Low Countries, and Spain andPortugal, with only a somewhat severely classical version being popular in France under Louis XIV. The style was a development of the Renaissance style and is characterized by lively, curved, and exuberant forms, by vigorous movement, and by richornament, based on classical sources, being symmetrical as distinguished from the asymmetry of the following Rococo style.
