About the Item
The ring features a striking eye-shaped motif that plays with symmetry and bold color. At the center is a marquise-cut diamond, bezel-set to emphasize its elongated shape. Surrounding it is a frame of deep blue baguette-cut sapphires, laid out in a fan-like pattern that follows the contour of the diamond. On each side of the band, small round brilliant diamonds are pavé-set in the rows. Known for their refined approach to geometry and proportion, Mauboussin created a design that feels intentional and well-resolved. A great example of the brand’s 20th-century design language, bold and clean. The ring's size is 6.25 (re-sizable); the weight is 5.4 grams. About Mauboussin brand The history of Mauboussin rooted in 1827, despite all the historical events that were shaking France those years. The House was called Maison Noury, with Jean-Baptiste Noury being a head of the company. In 1880 Noury’s nephew, Georges Mauboussin, started to work for the firm as an apprentice. Nine year later he took over the control of the company. From the start Mauboussin’s success was challenged by his competitors, established companies Mellerio and Wièze and upcoming Cartier and Boucheron. During the Roaring Twenties Mauboussin was using jade, shellac and colored stones carved in India. Those unconventional materials brought him a great success embodied in multiple major international awards. Celebrities were often wearing the Maison’s jewelry for their high-end magazine photoshoots. That brought fame to Mauboussin jewelry in the artistic and glamorous world. In 1936 Mauboussin and the New York jeweler Trabert & Hoeffer became partners. They opened their stores across the United States. Among Trabert & Hoeffer-Mauboussin’s clients were Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Paulette Godard. In the 1950s one of the most influential designers René Lacaze often set the jewelry trends. Since a lot of his designs were made for Mauboussin, the pieces of the latter became widely popular. It were a celebration of the colored stones, turquoise, coral and bright enamel. A few decades later this openness to new approaches and materials resulted in the Nadia ring. The name came from “nacre” (pearl in French) and “diamant”. Being authentic and universally understood, the ring quickly gained its popularity. In 1994, Mauboussin started making watches under the moto “Combining Swiss technical expertise with French creativity.” Mauboussin watch collections feature an extensive design range, from sprots models to evening wear pieces. Until today the House of Mauboussin stays independent. Over 200-year-old jewelry brand created close relationship with its clientele. Due to a deep understanding of the clients’ request the maker can respond to the modern demanding lifestyle with a strong soulful vision.
