Van Cleef & Arpels Mystery Ruby Diamond French Cocktail Ring Sz 4

The mystery setting, or “serti mysterieux” in French, is a signature technique developed by the brand in the 1930s, which involves setting gemstones in such a way that the metal framework is virtually invisible. This allows the ruby and diamonds to appear as if they are floating, creating an ethereal and captivating effect that adds an air of mystery to the ring.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Mystery Ruby Diamond Ring is hallmarked with “Breveté SGDG,” a French term that stands for “Breveté Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement” or “Patented Without Government Guarantee.” This hallmark indicates that the mystery setting technique used in this ring has been patented by Van Cleef & Arpels, but the government does not guarantee its effectiveness or success. In the context of jewelry, it serves as a testament to the brand’s innovative spirit and commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and craftsmanship.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Mystery Ruby Diamond Ring is more than just a stunning piece of jewelry; it is a wearable work of art that celebrates the fusion of ingenuity, precision, and beauty. This extraordinary ring is a captivating addition to any jewelry collection, embodying the intrigue and allure of the mystery setting technique and the timeless elegance of Van Cleef & Arpels.
