The Rose de Lumière Ring · Privately held

Jewels with a personal point of view

From inspiration to your own design.

Bespoke jewelry begins with what draws you to a piece: the silhouette of a ring, the rhythm of a bracelet or the colour relationships in a necklace. Explore those choices through named works in the archive.

Gemstone rings

Gemstone rings in the Algems archive explore floral settings, cabochon centres, contrasting colours and sculptural bands. Begin with the Paraiba Tourmaline Bloom Ring, then compare sapphire, ruby, topaz, emerald and citrine compositions. The individual catalogue records distinguish identified stones from descriptions that require further confirmation.
