Engagement rings

Original or classic engagement rings

You are the one who will tell me what you are dreaming of and we will invent your engagement ring together, in my workshop in Paris. I will do my best to make this experience an unforgettable one for you.

If you wish, you can bring your own precious or fine stone. But I am also here to advise you and find the stone that will be the center of your ring. Diamond? Colored stone? In the chapters gemstones and diamonds, I give you more information on this subject.

N.B. I have noticed that many people wonder which hand and which finger the engagement ring is worn on. Answer: In France, the ring finger of the left hand.

Cette bague de fiancailles originale,"claddagh", or blanc, sertie d'un saphir et d'un diamant poire tient son nom d'un village irlandais, d'où ce style est originaire. C'est une fabrication française.

Engagement ring “Claddagh”

Sapphire, diamonds, white gold

At the request of a customer, I created this traditional gold engagement ring, named after a small fishing village called Claddagh, near Galway in Ireland, where it was invented. The heart symbolizes love, the hands friendship and the crown loyalty. Jim Morrison offered an engagement ring like this to his partner during a Celtic ceremony.

In the middle of the 19th century, when thousands of Irish emigrated to North America to escape the great famine, many of them took along their Claddagh rings, which often constituted their only fortune. Thus, these rings are still in the possession of many American and Canadian families today. In France, I have recently seen a growing demand for symbolic rings.

There is even a reading code for how the ring is worn.

A single person will carry it on his right hand, with the heart pointed outwards. When she gets into a relationship, she will turn the ring so that the heart points inwards. Engaged, the ring changes hands, the heart turns. And married, you wear the ring on your left hand, with the heart pointing inwards.

According to Irish tradition, the ring is transmitted from mother to eldest daughter.
