Description
An exceptional piece of mid century French luxury heritage. This vintage Hermes bypass wrap ring features a beautifully clear emerald-cut natural rock crystal (clear quartz) measuring approximately 8mm x 6mm x 3.5mm (estimated 1ct). The architectural band elegantly circles in on itself to showcase the geometric stone setting. Handcrafted  in Paris during the Mid 20th Century by the highly collectable master silversmith, Charles Paillet, who famously manufactured early high-end silver commissions for the House of Hermes. With gift box. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the overall description.
