This exceptional Piaget ring from 1996 is crafted from 18-karat yellow and rose gold and features a distinctive and highly ingenious construction consisting of two interconnected bands.
The ring is composed of two independent elements that can be completely separated. One of the bands features a small pin, while the other has a corresponding opening. When joined together, the two elements form a single wide ring, while retaining a degree of independent movement relative to one another. The mechanism is discreet and virtually invisible when worn, while offering an intriguing example of Piaget’s technical approach to jewellery design during the 1990s.
The first band is crafted from 18-karat yellow gold and decorated with a row of 36 brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of approximately 0.30 ct. The stones are arranged across several rows, allowing the diamond-set surface to follow the rounded profile of the band.
The second element is made from 18-karat rose gold and has a completely polished, unadorned surface. The combination of two gold tones, together with the contrast between the diamond-set surface and polished rose gold, gives the ring a distinctive yet highly elegant character.
When joined, the two bands partially overlap, creating a characteristic, soft and dimensional form. They can also be separated, allowing the unusual construction of the design to be fully appreciated.
Each band bears its own number – A39324 and A43362. The ring is signed Piaget and dated 1996.
The form of the ring corresponds to examples found on the secondary market that are described as Piaget Double Alliance. As there is no confirmation in Piaget documentation that the name Double Alliance applies specifically to the numbers A39324/A43362, the term is used here as an identification of the construction type rather than as a confirmed reference name.
The ring has a substantial total weight of 13.05 g. It represents an intriguing example of Piaget jewellery from the 1990s, a period in which the Maison explored movement, the interaction of separate elements and unconventional interpretations of classic jewellery forms.
