Wouters & HendrixStacked 18K Gold Ring w. Diamond & Topaz

Wouters & Hendrix love to play with contrasts and frequently do so in their work. The fanciful form of the rings and the settings in this stacked ring contrasts with the perfection of the magnificent diamonds in the signature rosas. While travelling in Italy, Wouters & Hendrix came across a craftsman specialized in processing diamonds inspired by archetypal and antique jewellery. The classic millegrain technique is used here as a setting for the little diamonds in the rosette. Of French origin, the word ‘millegrain’ means ‘a thousand grains’, for the tiny, precious metal parts, which are soldered to the base of the jewel and in which the diamonds are set, resemble rows of grain. This time-consuming technique gives the piece a delicate appearance. The ring is set with 29 white diamonds: 0.14ct - Topaz: 2.3ct and weighs 11g

Wouters & Hendrix is about blending craftsmanship and surprise since 1984. Born in an avant-garde moment, they bend the rules of traditional jewellery making and wearing. Subtle rebels with a love for surrealism, they are drawn to unexpected combinations of materials and techniques, gently adorning your body with tales in silver and gold. Their wearable sculptures, designed and handmade in their Antwerp atelier, help you express your own version of femininity. For you to know and for others to find out.
