Part flower, part poem, this ring reveals its message to the person who detects its mechanism. At first glance, the piece stands out for its cushion-cut Burmese sapphire weighing 5.13 carats. Yet with a quarter-turn, the upper part rises to expose a quote from Oscar Wilde: “Une vie sans amour est comme un jardin sans soleil” (A life without love is like a sunless garden).

To recreate this luminous image, a mosaic of emeralds, Paraíba-like tourmalines and diamonds of various cuts creates a dialogue with the central stone, whose deep and intense blue is typical of Burmese sapphires.
