The oval sapphire radiates a velvety, regal hue that shifts gracefully with the light, offering a depth and richness achievable only in stones untouched by enhancement. Its vivid color, combined with its impressive size, creates a mesmerizing presence that immediately distinguishes this piece as something extraordinary.

Flanking the sapphire are two sleek baguette cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.50 carat. Their exceptional F color and VS clarity bring crisp, icy brilliance that frames the center stone with refined precision. The contrast between the diamonds’ cool brightness and the sapphire’s deep purple glow evokes the elegance and architectural sophistication associated with French jewelry design of the 1950s.

The platinum mounting enhances the ring’s luxurious character, providing strength, enduring beauty, and a smooth, luminous backdrop for the gemstones. Authentic French hallmarks—including the French dog and a makers mark—affirm the ring’s origin and craftsmanship, adding historical significance to its already remarkable composition.

Bold yet exquisitely balanced, this ring embodies the artistry, rarity, and romance of mid-century French design. With its untreated sapphire, exceptional diamonds, and refined silhouette, it is a collector-worthy treasure for anyone who appreciates rare gemstones and timeless, elegant craftsmanship. See less
