Description
A rare and sculptural creation by Mellerio dits Meller, this vintage “Chardon” ring, dating to circa 1940, is a masterclass in botanical inspiration and French craftsmanship. Centered with a striking cabochon emerald carved in melon fluting — of intense green hue and Colombian origin, as certified by C.G.L. — the design is crowned with a delicate bezel-set diamond, evoking the wild beauty of a blooming thistle.
The emerald is embraced by a platinum corolla of diamond-set petals, elevated on a lattice of yellow gold highlighted with further brilliant-cut diamonds. This interplay of textures — the glow of 18k gold, the cool brilliance of platinum, and the vivid depth of emerald — gives the ring both strength and lyrical elegance.
Signed and numbered, and presented in its original Mellerio dits Meller case, this exceptional jewel embodies the house’s legacy of poetic design and regal refinement. A remarkable collector’s piece — bold, rare, and unmistakably French.
