Deep ultramarine lapis with vivid Mediterranean red coral. The strong contrast creates a chic, almost Pop-Art color palette. These rings reflected the bold, geometric, and colorful aesthetic of 1970s Italian design, balancing luxury craftsmanship with playful modernism.
Unmistakable retro glamour!
A Contrariè ring, also known as a “contrary” or “opposite” ring, is a style of ring where the two ends of the band are open and adorned with decorative elements, which don’t quite meet but rather curve towards each other. This design symbolizes a harmonious duality, representing two separate entities that approach, touch, and complement each other without losing their distinct individuality, signifying encounter, union, and enduring bonds.
Lapis lazuli, coral and 8/8 diamond on 18kt gold. Dating circa 1970.
