High jewelry in Technicolor by de Grisogono

//





Five high jewelery rings signed by de Grisogono: they will be presented at the Cannes Film Festival. In fact the collection is called Technicolor ♦ ︎

The Ginevra Maison of high jewelery de Grisogono has two fixed points: participation in the Cannes Film Festival and a good dose of humor. For 2019 he decided to combine both aspects for the 17th appointment in Cannes: de Grisogono chosed to call his creations under the name of Technicolor. A name that has made the history of cinema: Technicolor was the second color cinematography procedure to be used on a large scale and, untill 1952, the most used in the United States. It was a synonym of great quality, of strong visual impact, of great films.

But for de Grisogono the word Technicolor brings together five new high jewelery rings. Obviously with very colored stones.

The five rings have as many central stones: ruby, emerald, sapphire, yellow diamond, white diamond. These stones combine with other stones. Combinations that the Maison sees as allusions to the history of cinema. Like the great masterpieces signed by great directors, also these rings are unique pieces. In short, each of these rings has its own script and a director (de Grisogono) who tells their story and their virtues.

The first ring is in green tone. It is made of 18K white gold, with a coussin-cut Colombian emerald (11.60 carats) and 532 black diamonds (approx. 11.30 carats) in the center. A contrast, between green and black, reinforced by the large lower corolla that rotates around a magnetic beryl that can move.

The second ring is in 18K rose gold, with a brilliant-cut white diamond (7.12 ct), 21 cabochon-cut rubies (15.70 ct), 111 brilliant-cut rubies (approx. 16.50 ct) and 162 white diamonds (about 2.75 carats). The asymmetry between the cuts of the ruby (cabochon and brilliant) goes up to the profile of the ring, covered with over a hundred brilliant cut diamonds. In addition, the ring is dotted with rose gold and black rhodium gold beads. In the center, mounted on a setting of pink gold, there is the white diamond of over 7 carats.

This ring in 18K white gold has a Coussin-cut Burmese ruby (18.13 ct), 46 white cut briolette diamonds (approx. 45.11 ct) and 319 white diamonds (approx. 3.47 ct) in the center. It has a Haute Couture setting technique, which has become the jeweler’s signature, which gives total freedom to the stones, leaving them appear as if they were floating in the air.

Ring in 18K white gold, in the center a blue oval cut sapphire (16.89 carat), 21 marquise cut emeralds (approx. 4.05 carats), 17 marquise cut white diamonds (approx. 3.50 carats), 55 emeralds (approx. 0 , 50 carats) and 15 blue sapphires (approx. 0.04 carats). It’s a vintage touch (maybe), but in addition to sapphire it hits the body of the ring covered with emeralds and marquise-cut diamonds. The perfect symmetry of the marquise cut contrasted by the asymmetry of the setting which for diamonds and emeralds reaches the bezel of the blue sapphire.

In de Grisogono’s creations, black diamonds could not be missing, almost a signature of the Geneva jeweler. This 18K yellow gold ring in the center shows a yellow coussin cut diamond (5.77 carats), 21 yellow baguette-cut diamonds (approximately 2.85 carats), but also 401 brilliant-cut black diamonds (approx. 7.15 carats). It does a great effect.
