Fine Jewellery Collection 2022 - 2023
Number 9
Platinum, onyx, diamonds... Marc Deloche designed his ninth jewellery collection like a monochrome painting where geometric lines fragment and come together to form jewellery with Art Deco accents. Ten rings and two necklaces make up this ensemble of wild, absolute elegance.
"I had wanted to dedicate a collection to Art Deco for a long time. This stylistic period of the interwar years has always fascinated me. I appreciate the geometric lines of objects and modernist architecture. I wanted to interpret, in a precious manner, forms drawn from the industrial or mechanical world," observes the Toulouse-based designer.
In this radical approach where colour has disappeared, Marc Deloche highlights all the nuances of platinum, the flagship metal of Art Deco, which he works essentially on rings set with onyx and diamonds. "It is the only jewel that looks back at you... The ring is also the piece that women wear most easily, it is not hidden behind or under a garment."
Exclusively crafted in steel-toned platinum, set with white diamonds and black onyx, these ten timeless and singular rings are accompanied by two coordinating choker necklaces.
RING 1
A circle, a square, three rectangles, Marc Deloche juggles geometric shapes to compose ring 1, which forms on the finger a modernist composition with onyx and diamond reliefs.
Ring 1
Platinum
Onyx and twenty-two diamonds of 0.45 carats
Platinum weight: 32.1 g
RING 2 / NECKLACE 11
An architectural composition on a platinum body, a field of onyx is illuminated by an off-centre diamond. It fits perfectly into a half-circle paved with brilliant-cut diamonds. Neo Art Deco, the clasp of this necklace serves as the central motif. Choker 11 features a highly textured design tempered by two onyx rectangles and a parenthesis of diamonds. It is mounted on a row of graduating onyx pearls.
Ring 2
Platinum
Onyx and sixteen diamonds of 1.03 carats
Platinum weight: 29.7 g
Choker necklace 11
Platinum
Onyx and thirty-two diamonds of 2.06 carats
RING 3 / NECKLACE 12
To enhance the effect of these platinum grooves reminiscent of those of an engine, the jeweller has separated them with a rectangle of onyx. A diamond-set arc softens the design. Neo Art Deco, the clasp of this necklace serves as the central motif. Very feminine, choker 12 is composed of a double row of onyx beads surrounding two onyx plates on which Marc Deloche has set two diamonds. The whole is framed within two half-circles paved with brilliant-cut diamonds.

Platinum weight: 24.8 g
