The epitome of luxury and elegance, this incredible ring crafted in Cartier's Paris workshop showcases an exquisite diamond of exceptional quality.

Known all around the world today for their incredible craftsmanship and aesthetic, Cartier was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier. By 1909, with bases in Paris, London and New York, the House of Cartier was a truly global tour de force.

Cartier Paris was managed by Louis Cartier, Grandson of Louis-Francois, and he moved the shop to its current location on the Rue de la Paix in 1898. Louis was the driving force behind many of the maison’s most well-known designs and innovations. From establishing the use of platinum and the introduction of the garland style to the incorporation of ancient artefacts and motifs, Louis Cartier created designs that appealed to the elite all over the world.

This ring in excellent condition.
