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.

CLOISONNE TECHNIQUE:
The cloisonné technique, used with finesse for each pendant, is an ancient art that gives a unique beauty to each piece.
The craftsmen create compartments delimited by thin silver partitions, forming a complex network.
These compartments are then filled with enamels, providing a rich and vibrant palette of colours. The process requires precise mastery, with each layer of enamel carefully fired to ensure brilliance and durability.

The end result is a splendid pendant, a perfect fusion of cloisonné art and Qing Dynasty heritage, evoking timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship.

At the center of this exceptional and rare ring, is set a very high quality seraphinite cabochon , guaranteed natural without treatments.
Originating from Siberia in Russia.
As a gemologist graduated from the National Institute of Gemmology (ING, Paris), all our stones are appraised by us .
