Description
A rare and sculptural creation by Mellerio dits Meller: this vintage “Chardon” ring, dating to circa 1940, is a masterpiece of botanical inspiration and French craftsmanship. At its center lies an impressive melon-ribbed cabochon emerald of intense green color and Colombian origin, certified by C.G.L., crowned with a delicately set diamond that evokes the wild beauty of a blooming thistle.
The emerald is framed by a platinum corolla with diamond-set petals, raised on a yellow-gold lattice and accented with additional brilliant-cutdiamonds. This interplay of textures — the warm glow of 18-karat gold, the cool brilliance of platinum, and the deep intensity of the emerald — gives the ring both strength and lyrical elegance.
Signed and numbered, and presented in its original Mellerio dits Meller box, this exceptional jewel embodies the house’s heritage of poetic design and royal refinement. A remarkable collector’s piece — bold, rare, and unmistakably French.
