Bead edge craftsmanship is called Milgrain in English, which comes from the French ‘mille-grain’, which means thousands of small dots. This special craft began to rise during the Art Deco period, giving jewelry a retro elegance. Bead edge craftsmanship requires craftsmen to carefully carve bead points of consistent size on the fine edges of the jewelry by hand. Slight errors in the process will lead to uneven bead edges, affecting the overall look and feel, so the master's gestures are very particular.
What I bring to you this time is a sapphire and diamond ring featuring bead edge craftsmanship. The entire ring is designed with flowers and leaves as the main design, and the large and small flowers and leaves are equipped with a clawless diamond. To highlight the shimmering leaf shape. The most special thing is that the shapes of the flowers and leaves and the stems are decorated with thin bead edges. Each bead edge is uniform and well-organized; the main stone is matched with the rare unfired stone mined from Sri Lanka. Cornflower blue sapphire is like a blooming cornflower with countless flowers and leaves, which is lifelike.
