We are now working with Huangyi Workshop , official supplier of the shops in the Forbidden City of Beijing.

My role as a gemologist is to find the gems, to expert them, then, on my return from Beijing, we work on the exceptional design of this sumptuous and unique art. This jade ring, traditional from the Forbidden City, is entirely handcrafted

FILIGREE SILVER TECHNIQUE:

The art of crafting 925 silver filigree is a delicate and refined artisanal technique used to create exceptional and unique rings. Each piece is expertly crafted, with artisans carefully intertwining silver wires to form intricate and elegant designs.
This centuries-old craftsmanship adds a touch of elegance to each ring, capturing the artistic essence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Each filigree detail reflects the craftsmen's dedication, creating unique pieces steeped in history and sophistication.

At the center of this exceptional and rare ring, is set an amazonite cabochon .
This amazonite comes from the Ural region of Russia.
The Ural region is famous for its beautiful varieties of amazonite, which are often used in the manufacture of jewelry and decorative items.

This cabochon is obviously natural and guaranteed to be free of any treatment.
As a gemologist graduated from the National Institute of Gemmology (ING, Paris), all our stones are appraised by us.
