The Jolie-Rose solitaire in yellow gold and diamond

The Jolie-Rose solitaire stands out for its distinctive identity and floral inspiration, giving it a look that is both delicate and striking.

The harmony of its shapes and the interplay of contrasting materials enhance the warmth and richness that emanate from this finely crafted piece, designed with attention to every detail.

A little history

Ruby is a precious gemstone from the corundum family, coloured by traces of chromium that give it its intense red hue, a symbol of passion and power since ancient times. Throughout history, it was especially prized in India and Burma, where it was believed to protect its wearer from harm and bring strength and courage. Warriors sometimes set it into their armour as a talisman. In medieval Europe, ruby was associated with royalty and wealth, often confused with other precious stones. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after gems in fine jewellery for its deep brilliance and rarity.

The jeweller’s touch

Inspired by floral shapes, the Jolie-Rose solitaire subtly explores the dialogue between volumes and materials. Its comfortable yellow gold ribbon-style band highlights a brilliant-cut ruby delicately set within a square setting. This is enhanced by a diamond halo that amplifies the centre stone’s brilliance while adding depth and dimension. Crafted in grain setting, the design is adorned with fine yellow gold beads that blend seamlessly with the sparkle of the diamonds, creating a piece with a romantic and poetic charm.
