The
Inspiration
Casting a glimpse into the depth of the emerald, the precious stone reveals delicate and fine shapes, reminiscent of the leaves and petals of an exotic plant. The beak-like curves and mysterious silhouettes reminded our gifted designers of the bird of paradise flower. Among the most sophisticated tropical flowers, the magnificent blossom is synonymous with liberty and believed to hold the promise of prosperity.
The
Design
The Gübelin designers concentrated on a single jagged detail visible within the precious inner world of an exquisite emerald. The lavish arrangement underpins the designer’s talented eye for detail and the unique ability to let the one of a kind gemstone shine with unsurpassed beauty when set in the centre of this magnificent work of art.
The
Craft
Casting a ring of this size in platinum requires years of practice and a unique affinity for the most delicate kind of craftsmanship. Gifted artisans carefully work on each step of the process from the initial cast, down to the very last details of the magnificent final creation.
