Emperor's Love Ring

A Contemporary Gemstone Ring Inspired by Nature's Perfection

The Illuminated Garden Collection of contemporary gemstone rings was envisioned to seduce the senses.

The Emperors Love ring, designed by Nina Vidmar, is a stunning piece of jewelry inspired by the ethereal beauty of the hydrangea flower. Vidmar sought to capture the powerful sensuality evoked by the Hortensia flower and translate it into a unique and innovative gemstone ring. The result is a collection of treasured rings that celebrate the glorious Hortensia blossoms in brilliant color, fashioned with the highest quality craftsmanship.

What sets the Emperors Love ring apart is its attention to detail and unique design features. The delicate gold settings, created using an ancient lost wax technique, delicately hold precious gemstones. Skilled artisans mount pave stones by hand, creating a striking and textural gemstone pattern. The combination of diamonds and vibrant jewels adds a bold and vibrant touch to the design. The philosophy behind the Maison is to embrace the power of the feminine spirit with bravura and innovative design.

The Emperors Love ring is made of 18K rose gold in combination with 18K white gold. The centerpiece is a 10.58ct pink tourmaline, surrounded by a diamond setting of 0.35ct. The gold petals embrace centers of glowing rubies, totaling 0.53ct. The ring weighs 19.88 grams, showcasing the substantial nature of this exquisite piece.

The Emperors Love ring is a testament to the designer's meticulous research and attention to detail. Vidmar drew inspiration from the beauty of the Hortensia bushes in her garden, studying their expressive lines and capturing the intensity of light and color in her design. The challenge was to create a ring that looked fragile like real Hortensia flowers, while ensuring durability and strength. The structure of the ring needed to withstand the pressure of wear, while mimicking the lightness and live motion of the petals.

The Emperors Love ring represents a harmonious blend of contemporary design aesthetics and ancient craftsmanship. The 18K white and rose gold hydrangea petals, with ruby centers embraced in a diamond setting, create a classic expression of diamonds and gemstones. The 10.58ct pink tourmaline center stone seemingly glows from within, adding brilliance to the overall design. It is a sumptuous story, told in gemstones.

The Emperors Love ring has already garnered recognition and acclaim. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
