The Première Dame solitaire in white gold and emerald

Inspirational, elegant and luminous, this jewellery creation reveals a magnetic beauty that immediately captures the eye. From the very first glance, this “Première Dame” enchants with its distinctive presence. Both classic and resolutely contemporary, it showcases the emerald with confidence and grace. The interplay of clean lines and soft curves creates a solitaire with a feminine, balanced and beautifully harmonious silhouette.

A little history

Emerald is a precious gemstone from the beryl family, recognised for its intense green colour caused by traces of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Since ancient times, it has symbolised rebirth, wisdom and faithful love. Ancient civilisations, particularly the Egyptians, held it in high esteem; Cleopatra was especially fond of emeralds and owned numerous mines. Highly prized in jewellery, emerald is admired for its deep glow and natural inclusions, often referred to as its “jardin”, which testify to its authenticity and make each stone unique.

The jeweller’s touch

With the Première Dame creation, we aimed to highlight the precision and excellence of traditional jewellery craftsmanship. Its rose gold band, subtly divided into two strands, opens and then merges harmoniously into a single refined setting. The whole piece is delicately paved using grain setting, enhancing the emerald’s brilliance and capturing attention with finesse. The V-shaped setting elevates the centre stone with elegance, allowing it to capture light more effectively and reveal its full depth.
