The Monet Ring collection captures the spirit of the famous painting in the most precious materials, offering art that one can appreciate and wear,” said Tawhid Abdullah, managing director of Damas.
In Stefan Hafner's 'Monet Ring Collection,' the blooms 'float' on pave diamonds as emerald green or blushing ruby blossoms nestle on pave diamonds or diamond flowers rest on a pave of rubies.
