Weekend Sojourn: Piaget Brings the Garden to Life

Long known as an haute joaillerie brand as well as a watchmaker extraordinaire, Piaget delights the senses with its amazing jewelry.  In its Limelight Garden Party collection unveiled earlier this year, the brand brought together the essence of nature in a garden collection of flowers and birds that is at once playful, whimsical and magical.  This alluring ring features a seductive cushion-cut rubellite at its center, rimmed by an 18-karat gold setting with 359 brilliant-cut diamonds, 16 pear-shaped emeralds and 8 round-cut pink sapphires. Atop it all, enchantingly perched is a perfectly realized diamond-ensconced bird.  Yes, this is the ring for me– if I had a cool $95,000 laying around.
