Belle Époque or Allegra
Damiani · de Grisogono
Belle Époque
Round diamonds alternating with rubies, sapphires or emeralds round a band, like frames on a reel of film running past.
Damiani keeps strict time; de Grisogono improvises. Belle Époque sets a round diamond, then a coloured stone, then a diamond again, all the way round the band, a cadence Enrico Grassi Damiani took from film running through a projector after a trip to Paris. Allegra, from 2003, winds slender gold rings so they seem to fall on the finger anyhow. One is a sequence and the other a tangle, and each gives a still band the feeling of motion.
