The Première Dame solitaire in yellow gold and sapphire

Bold yet naturally elegant, this jewellery creation with a distinctly graphic design captivates with its subtle charm. Modern and timeless, the Première Dame ring stands out through the purity of its lines and the harmony of its delicate curves, giving it a look that is both classic and sophisticated. Inspired by the great style icons of the 20th century, it expresses an instinctive elegance, refined and effortlessly striking.

A little history

The sapphire is a variety of corundum, a precious stone formed deep within the Earth under high pressure and temperature conditions. Its iconic blue colour comes from traces of iron and titanium within its crystal structure. It is found in several regions of the world, including Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Myanmar. A symbol of wisdom, loyalty and purity, sapphire has captivated for centuries with its deep brilliance and timeless beauty.

The jeweller’s touch

As with all pieces in the Les Coquettes collection, the Première Dame solitaire is crafted using the grain setting technique, which delicately secures the diamonds onto an 18-carat yellow gold band. This setting enhances the refinement of the split band and highlights the elegance of its construction. The two arms of the ring gently separate before gracefully rejoining, creating a fluid movement that naturally draws the eye toward the central sapphire, magnified by this luminous setting. The result is a perfectly balanced design that is both modern and delicately sophisticated.
