French Louvre Cloisonne Ring

This ring dates back to 2500 BC and is a good example of cloisonne craftsmanship, which is highly appreciated for its colorful effects. Inlays of lapis lazuli and carnelian form a fascinating decoration, with variations of rose petals, spiral crosses and kidney-shaped patterns. The edges of the ring are more prominent, and the Gemstone form a pattern of intersecting curved V shapes. This technique requires the superb skills of a silversmith to fix the cloisonne or the partition through a simple heat treatment without any welding.
