Unique ring pair of a Platinum Art Deco original with emeralds and its dummy model

At first, we thought we were seeing double with this unique ring pair of a platinum vintage original emerald and diamond platinum ring and its dummy model. But immediately we realised how exceptional this pair of rings really is. One jewel is a most valuable platinum Estate ring from the Fifties with high-class Colombian emeralds and diamonds. The other seems to be the exact same ring crafted in perfect resemblance but in silver with green and colourless strass stones.

Up to the Fifties of the last century, it was not uncommon for the happy few to have their most precious jewellery pieces reproduced in less expensive materials. These reproductions -called dummies- were crafted specifically to wear on long journeys and cruises. Unfortunately, this custom was so well kept indiscretion that most people lost sight of the reason for having a duplicate. So nowadays, such pairs are hardly being found as a couple anymore which makes of this valuable ring together with its pseudo-twin truly a unique collection.

Within this particular pair, the spectacular original platinum ring arrays three centrally decreasing emeralds with an upper and lower brim of five brilliant-cut diamonds. This plateau of gems transcends from a left and right diamond-encrusted volute. Central in the two capital rims of this stylized column-shaped top, a brilliant-cut diamond enhances the allure of wearing a Greek sanctuary on your hand even more. As a Greek goddess, you could bath in this sea of diamond shimmer created by the light swirling through the azure-cut settings.

The authentic ring, as well as its duplicated counterpart equal in appearance, are just waiting to be found in the original treasure box of Leysen, who’s a certified jewellery supplier to the Belgian Royal Court. Having the opportunity to wear this powerful design on any possible occasion, envision yourself completely giving in to the moment without giving in on any of your own unique glory.
