Rings Poiray

Poiray, iconic rings and designs

Creativity, fine lines and a love of color characterize the Poiray rings, the jeweler of Place Vendôme who first knew how to exploit the full potential of fine stones - in addition to the four great gemstones, diamond, sapphire, emerald and ruby. The House of Poiray also has its favorite shapes, interlacing and hearts, boldly blended in one of the brand's most iconic collections, Interlaced Heart. Born in 1993, often revisited, it highlights Poiray's expertise in working with gold. But this one with already taken all its meaning eight years before... In 1985 indeed, thirteen years after the creation of the House and ten years its installation on the Place Vendôme, Poiray launched its first emblematic collection, Tresse. Inspired by the turbans of the early 20th century, it still offers today the sensual curves of its two delicately intertwined strands of gold, with rose gold and white gold rings, yellow gold and white gold, white gold and diamond paving, small, large and medium models... This is, moreover, one of the particularities of the House of Poiray: heart, braid, or any other pattern, comes in a wide variety of rings likely to appeal to a wide audience.

Fine stones and modular rings

But the bold Parisian House went much further still, offering rings with interchangeable parts (body, bezel and fine stone) with the Ma Préférence collection, starting in 2015. The ring authorizes the tireless mixing of pink gold, yellow gold and white gold, diamond pavings, with a multitude of stones that can be changed at will: blue London or blue sky topaz, chalcedony, amethyst, onyx, peridot, rhodolite, citrine, tourmaline, pink or smoky quartz, etc. A Ma Préférence ring purchased second-hand could just as easily be completed with the purchase, for 200€, of a stone specially cut in Poiray Cut, a set of facets that leaves a star to be drawn in the center of the stone. This principle of modularity is repeated in two other collections, starting with Lolita, whose rings, pendants and other earrings reinvent another motif dear to Poiray, the godron. Here again, gold is adorned with colored gemstones for a "modern, joyful and uncomplicated jewelry". The Lolita rings moreover lend themselves perfectly to the art of accumulation, with the mixture of stones and geometric shapes. This, however, is not the case with Indrani. Here no stacking, the collection named after an Indian goddess is a line of cocktail rings created in 2008, reinvented in "signet ring" and XS versions in 2019 by Aurélie Bidermann, Poiray's artistic director. If the fine stones with fresh hues, rose quartz, prasiolite or topaz, remain at the heart of the ring, the Indrani 2019 have the particularity of being articulated and flexible thanks to their new chain ring. The same spirit of marrying gold and gemstones in "cocktail rings" presided over the creation of other Poiray ring designs, including the Filles Antik collection, when Perles Précieuses adds an authentic freshwater cultured pearl to a faceted oval-cut stone.
