Lot 648 (Jewels & Jadeite Hong Kong Fall 2020): Feng J - A Unique Diamond 'Fountain of Diamonds' Ring. Estimate: HK$11,500,000 - 15,500,000.
The highly unusual ‘Fountain of Diamonds’ ring illustrates the concept of a spring fountain. The inspiration dates back to Feng J’s time living in Paris when she was infatuated by the hundreds of fountains throughout the city and fascinated by the feminine Belle Époque sculptures and the history they represent. The curvature of the water is shown by 95 circular bubbling diamond beads, expressing the jets of water, all set by hand and culminating at the ring’s focal point where the 22.08 carat, D color, VS1 clarity diamond sits. The sourcing process for every single bead was extensive, with each diamond having to fit a precise size, shape and clarity specification to fully replicate the lively bubbling of a Parisian fountain. The Fountain of Diamonds ring is the essence of contemporary jewelry sculpture, with thoughtful inspirations behind a wearable work of art.
