Paloma Picasso
She was the daughter of the artists Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot, Paloma has been a creative force since the day she was born. Growing up in France, she was surrounded by art and was always encouraged to create herself, which she did with great enthusiasm—firstly, with childhood drawings and, later, through her now iconic jewelry collections for tiffany. Embodying the art and culture movement of the 1980s in New York city, Paloma was a progressive choice for Tiffany & Co. This ring is a serious collector's piece, rare and in perfect condition. As a note this model was also produced with other lesser valued colored gemstones, such citrines and amethyst. Paloma Picasso's jewelry is recognizable for the use of brilliants and colored gems, set in bold shaped designs.
Note: Both gemstones are translucent, have great color saturation and are totally eye clean.
Collateral: This ring is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box.
Condition: The overall condition of this ring is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold. Both gemstones are secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
