14ct yellow gold, mandarin garnet (cut by Jean Noel Soni), cognac diamonds, lacquer enamel.
Available in stock- U.S Size 6.5 (Centre ring is 6.75)
Crafted in three interlocking parts, its central solitaire, a mandarin garnet glowing like the final ember of autumn is flanked by twin enamelled jackets in lacquered rust, ochre, and gold. Inspired by the Mughal archer’s ring, these reversible forms speak of adaptability and transition, protection and precision.
Each layer echoes the cyclical rhythms of nature; leaves falling in quiet gold, patterns drawn from the warp and weft of time. A jewel of quiet complexity, this piece also revisits a forgotten technique through a contemporary lens. The enamel technique Guilloché historically involved the use of antique engine-turning machines to engrave rhythmic, repeating patterns into metal. These machines, which are no longer in production, were capable of creating hypnotic, precise textures that shimmered beneath layers of transparent enamel. But with the technique now largely abandoned, we continue to ask how might we revive and reimagine this form for the contemporary world.
This proprietary technique explores the traditional concept of guilloche as a patterning beneath the surface of transparent enamel. Replacing the circular repetition of the engine-turned disks with a recessed layer of decorative champlevé, the "guilloche" becomes an animated participant in the overall piece. Here, the rhythmic pattern is created through engraving, softened beneath a wash of colourful transparent enamel. The result is a surface alive with light, colour and quiet movement, almost textile in its effect.
