Description
This extraordinary creation from Van Cleef & Arpels’ prestigious “Bals de Légende” collection represents the pinnacle of narrative jewelry artistry. Inspired by the legendary Winter Palace balls of Imperial Russia, this one-of-a-kind ring transforms the crystalline elegance and aristocratic grandeur of those historic celebrations into wearable art. The magnificent 30.86-carat emerald-cut tourmaline centerpiece commands attention alongside a luminous turquoise bead that evokes the clear winter skies of those unforgettable gatherings.
Every element has been meticulously crafted to tell a story of refined luxury—round diamonds providing brilliant illumination, multicolored sapphires in yellow, pink, and mauve hues, and tsavorite garnets completing a palette that captures both the icy exterior and warm revelry of aristocratic winter celebrations. Authenticated by Nicolas Bos himself and complete with original design sketches, this remarkable piece transitions effortlessly from history to contemporary elegance, embodying Van Cleef & Arpels’ legacy of creating jewelry that transcends mere adornment to become cultural treasure.
