Filigree Leaf Ring

For the woman who collects pieces the way other people collect first editions.

Delicate and feminine, this 18k yellow gold filigree leaf ring captures the essence of Florentine refinement. The focal point is a marquise-shaped motif featuring intricate hand-pierced filigree scrollwork, reminiscent of a stylized leaf or a piece of antique lace, set on a slender polished band that disappears under the volume of the top. The metal is 18k Italian gold, struck with the 750 millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic goldsmithing.

Filigree is the oldest argument in Florentine goldsmithing: how thin can a wire be drawn before it stops being structural and starts being lace. The bench masters who set up shop on the Ponte Vecchio after 1593, when the bridge became the official home of goldsmithing for the city, inherited the technique from Etruscan workshops two thousand years earlier and refined it without mechanizing it. The vocabulary has not changed.

This 18k Italian gold filigree ring is an ideal choice for a subtle daily accessory or a meaningful gift that whispers elegance rather than shouting it.

It reads ornamental at a distance and intricate up close. Worn on the index, on the middle finger, or as the centerpiece of a stack of plain bands, it is the kind of piece a stranger asks about and the wearer never has to explain.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. 18k yellow gold, 750 millesimal fineness, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the ring leaves Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee resizing included.
