Description
A masterpiece from de Grisogono‘s celebrated Chiocciola collection, this ring captures the organic beauty of a spiral seashell transformed into high jewelry. The name “Chiocciola” – Italian for “snail” – perfectly describes the ring’s architectural form: concentric bands that curve inward in a hypnotic spiral, creating a three-dimensional sculptural effect that seems to draw the eye toward its luminous green center. At the heart of the composition sits a vibrant peridot cabochon, its fresh lime-green hue radiating warmth and light. Surrounding the peridot, successive waves of pavé-set diamonds and vivid tsavorite garnets create a chromatic gradient that intensifies from pale green to deep forest tones, punctuated by flashes of emerald green that add depth and complexity to the design.
The ring is crafted in 18-karat white gold with a rhodium finish, providing a cool, silvery backdrop that allows the gemstones’ natural colors to take center stage. The Chiocciola’s signature spiral construction is more than decorative – it represents continuity, growth, and the infinite cycles of nature. Each band flows seamlessly into the next, creating an architectural marvel that catches and refracts light from every angle. The combination of gemstones is characteristic of de Grisogono’s fearless approach to color: peridot‘s sunny optimism, tsavorite‘s verdant intensity, emerald‘s regal depth, and diamond‘s crystalline brilliance, all orchestrated in perfect harmony.
Signed “de Grisogono” and stamped 750, this ring embodies the house’s fearless approach to color and sculptural design. Founded in 1993 by Fawaz Gruosi, de Grisogono revolutionized haute joaillerie by championing bold volumes and unconventional gemstones.
