LUSTER

Ring in yellow gold in SION style, with an 11.80 ct red square Chartres crystal cabochon. Part of the Chartres Collection. Chartres crystal — historically evocative coloured glass, taking its name from the cathedral whose windows defined the art of coloured light in the medieval world — occupies a singular category in jewellery: not a gemstone, but a reference, a memory made tangible. The deep red carries the same chromatic density as the most celebrated ruby glass of the cathedral: saturated, luminous, impossibly rich. The SION mount, worked by hand, holds the square cabochon within an architecture of worked gold that treats colour as the primary language of the object — at once ancient and fully contemporary.
