Sculptural Italian architecture, bold structural form, and a striking contrast of precious hues.

The geometric, box-style crown harmoniously combines the intense red of two smoothly cut natural corals, the depth of two emerald-cut sapphires totaling approximately 0.90 ct, and a luminous channel of 4 round brilliant-cut diamonds of high clarity VS and color G (Top Wesselton) totaling ca. 0.14 ct.

Italian Retro Architecture – Post-War Precision & Expression

Italian jewelry of the 1940s and 1950s broke away from flat Art Deco motifs in favor of three-dimensional, architectural forms rich in expression.

Key highlights of this piece include:

• Three-Dimensional Box Construction (12.44 g): A massive 18K gold setting creates a sculptural frame where vertical and horizontal elements intersect with perfect rhythm.

• Dynamic Contrast of Textures and Colors: The pairing of smooth red coral cylinders with the deep navy hue of emerald-cut sapphires and the brilliance of diamonds builds an unparalleled visual energy.

• High-Grade Diamonds (VS / G): Selected brilliant-cut diamonds set in a central row illuminate the focal point with crystalline fire.
