René Boivin Peridot Ring
This hefty dome ring from René Boivin centers around a chunky cushion-cut lime green peridot, glittering with massed diamonds. Made some time in 1935, the ring looks as avante-garde as the team of confident women who designed it. By the 1920s, Jeanne Boivin—René’s widow—was creating jewels with a strong sculptural presence, a marriage of monumental style and simplicity. Small but with an sizeable impact, this beautiful ring is made for a glamorous cocktail hour.
