The Albert solitaire in white gold and emerald

The Albert solitaire does not try to do too much, and that is precisely what makes it remarkable. Crafted in white gold, it remains discreet in order to let the emerald speak for itself, its deep green hue catching the light with an almost living intensity. In this encounter between luminous metal and vibrant gemstone, Maison Lepage strikes a perfect balance: a calm, almost self-evident elegance, where every detail naturally finds its place.

For the Little Story

To preserve its bright white appearance, white gold undergoes a specific treatment known as rhodium plating. This process consists of immersing the jewel in a rhodium bath in order to deposit a thin protective layer on its surface through electrolysis. A rare metal with silvery-white reflections, rhodium is particularly valued for its hardness and resistance to corrosion, and it is often used in alloy with platinum.

A jeweller's word

This white gold setting is distinguished by its clean lines, designed to showcase and secure the gemstones it holds. The round-cut emerald, subtly revealed, is delicately held in place by four discreet prongs. On either side, two baguette-cut diamonds are directly set into the mounting, adding a graphic touch inspired by Art Deco aesthetics. With the Albert solitaire, all the energy and refinement of the Roaring Twenties are reimagined in a jewel of timeless charm.
