This jewellery of refined design recalls the Restoration period. It combines the brilliance of the sapphires of a great homogeneity of color and size and the spiral of brilliants, marquise shape diamonds and pear shape diamonds. |
|
The oval sapphires are surrounded by baguette diamonds. The foliage found on the gold and diamond mount gives great lightness to this jewellery designed by Friederich Jacob Morisson, during the 17th century. |
| Those marvelously limpid cabochon sapphires are surrounded by diamonds and dotted with small emeralds linked by a simple and massive chain. |

Superb opposition of forms and colors for this rounded volume's set. The ring made up of a Burmese sapphire of almost 3 carats and of a marquise emerald underlines its asymmetry of beaded gold wire. The earrings marry the density of 2 Burmese sapphires weighting more than 6 carats with youthful cheerfulness of 2 marquise emeralds, which sparkle animate a diamond cover. |
