A diamond rosas adorning your finger. The classic millegrain technique, which is used here as a setting for the little diamonds in the rosettes, contrasts with the fanciful, organic ring on which the head is mounted.
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’s rhodium-plated gold background sets off and further enhances the diamonds. Wouters & Hendrix love to play with contrasts and frequently do so in their work.
