PERNA LABORATORIO ORAFO – HANDCRAFTED RHODIUM-PLATED 925 STERLING SILVER SCULPTURAL RING WITH 6 MM AQUAMARINE AND 104 NATURAL DIAMONDS An impressive sculptural ring entirely handcrafted, stone-set and individually finished by Perna Laboratorio Orafo in Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy. Its distinctive design is defined by a flowing, asymmetrical movement of diamond-set curves that wrap elegantly around the central aquamarine. The construction creates a refined three-dimensional composition in which the delicate pale-blue gemstone contrasts beautifully with the cool lustre of rhodium-plated sterling silver and the refined brilliance of 104 natural diamonds. The intricate architecture, the large number of individually set stones and the carefully finished transitions between the different curved elements demonstrate the precision and craftsmanship required to produce this jewel. This is a newly produced artisan piece, individually assembled, set, polished and inspected in the Perna Laboratorio Orafo workshop. JEWELLERY DETAILS • Maker: Perna Laboratorio Orafo • Place of manufacture: Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy • Production: entirely handcrafted new production • Metal: solid 925 sterling silver with rhodium finish • Fineness mark: “925”, clearly visible inside the shank and documented in the photographs • Shank construction: closed and continuous • Ring size: Italian size 16, approximately equivalent to EU size 56 • Total weight: 2.62 g • Condition: newly produced artisan jewellery CENTRAL AQUAMARINE • Gemstone: aquamarine, the blue to blue-green variety of beryl • Quantity: 1 • Shape: round • Cutting style: faceted • Diameter: approximately 6 mm • Estimated weight: approximately 0.61 ct • Colour: pale blue to delicate ice blue, displaying natural-looking tonal variations created by the facets, internal reflections and viewing angle • Treatment information: not determined by an independent gemmological laboratory The central aquamarine is securely held by a mechanically coherent prong setting integrated into the sculptural architecture of the ring. NATURAL DIAMONDS • Gemstone: natural diamonds • Quantity: 104 • Shape: round and faceted • Diameter: approximately 1.2 mm each • Estimated individual weight: approximately 0.0063 ct • Estimated total diamond weight: approximately 0.66 ct • Setting: pavé-style arrangement with individual setting elements, as documented in the photographs The diamonds follow the sinuous movement of the ring and continue across the sculptural upper sections and shoulders, creating a refined and evenly distributed brilliance. No laboratory grades are stated for diamond colour, clarity or cut quality, as the mounted diamonds are not accompanied by individual independent grading reports. No unsupported qualitative grades or technical characteristics have therefore been added to this description. ESTIMATED TOTAL GEMSTONE WEIGHT • Central aquamarine: approximately 0.61 ct • 104 natural diamonds: approximately 0.66 ct • Combined estimated gemstone weight: approximately 1.27 ct The stated carat weights are conservative dimensional estimates calculated from the declared diameters, the specific gravity of each gemstone material and conventional proportions for round faceted stones. As all gemstones are mounted, their exact depth and individual physical weight cannot be measured without removing them from the setting. The actual carat weights may therefore differ within normal tolerances. These estimates are provided for descriptive purposes and do not replace the results of weighing loose stones or an independent gemmological report. ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIP This ring is not presented as an anonymous industrially assembled jewel. Its construction, stone setting, polishing, rhodium finishing and final inspection were carried out individually by Perna Laboratorio Orafo. The design requires the precise alignment of numerous small diamonds along complex curved surfaces while maintaining the distinctive asymmetrical movement of the original composition. The rhodium finish enhances the bright, cool-white appearance of the 925 sterling silver and creates an elegant visual contrast with the delicate pale-blue aquamarine and the controlled brilliance of the natural diamonds. Each example is individually finished by hand. Any minute variations or microscopic traces visible only under strong macro magnification are consistent with genuine workshop production, stone setting and hand finishing and should not automatically be interpreted as manufacturing defects. CONDITION Newly produced artisan jewellery. The ring has been carefully inspected before being offered for sale. The gemstones are mounted and the overall construction is physically stable. High-magnification photographs may reveal minute surface characteristics that are not normally visible to the naked eye during ordinary wear. LOT CONTENTS • One handcrafted rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver ring • One round faceted aquamarine measuring approximately 6 mm • 104 natural round faceted diamonds measuring approximately 1.2 mm each • Gift presentation box IMPORTANT INFORMATION The photographs form an integral part of the description and document the ring’s design, proportions, stone arrangement, craftsmanship, condition and clearly visible “925” fineness mark. Prospective bidders are invited to examine all photographs carefully before placing a bid. Macro photography greatly enlarges the jewel and may make minute surface characteristics, setting details or natural optical features appear more evident than they are during normal observation. The perceived colour of the aquamarine may vary slightly according to lighting conditions, viewing angle, screen calibration and the natural interaction of light with its facets. No statement is made regarding the geographical origin of the aquamarine or the absence of possible treatments, as these characteristics have not been established by an independent gemmological report. The diamonds are declared natural according to the materials used by the professional maker. No unsupported claims are made regarding their colour, clarity, fluorescence, exact cut grade, individual origin or certification. All dimensions and estimated carat weights are approximate. Exact gemstone weights can only be established by removing and weighing the stones or through appropriate laboratory examination. The Italian ring size is the primary size reference. International size conversions are approximate and may vary slightly according to the measuring system or mandrel used. Buyers are advised to verify the required size before bidding. The presentation box is included for packaging and presentation purposes. SHIPPING The ring will be carefully protected, securely packaged in its gift box and dispatched by tracked courier. Tracking information will be provided as soon as the parcel has been entrusted to the carrier. Any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges or other destination-country costs, where applicable, are the sole responsibility of the buyer. A distinctive Italian artisan jewel combining the delicate pale-blue presence of aquamarine, the refined brilliance of 104 natural diamonds and the unmistakable character of workshop-made jewellery from Torre del Greco.
