A unique jewel, between vintage and modernity
Halle Berry showed off the ring with easeaccompanying him in studied poses that made him the protagonist: hands at the torso, body turned towards the photographers, confident gaze. The jewel chosen by Van Hunt does not follow the path of the classic solitaire. In the center it stands out an old European cut diamondestimated between 1 and 1.5 carats, the fruit of a process widespread between the end of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century.
Unlike modern cuts, more oriented towards pure brilliance, this type of diamond favors the so-called “fire”, i.e. i iridescent reflections that light up when light passes through its wider facets. The result is one soft, romantic, almost cinematic brightness. The design, inspired byArt Decois elegant and decisive: not a “princess” ring, but a piece of character, capable of combining vintage charm and contemporary sensitivity.
