Avakian presents Caché, a collection of tactile rings entirely wrapped in precious colored gemstones inside and out. Each one is crowned with a marquise cut stone surrounded by white diamonds. Named after the French word meaning hidden, the Caché collection is quite literally an extra touch of luxury. Meticulously set gemstones, smooth to the touch, extend all the way round to the inside of the ring - a fact known only to the wearer. That is of course, if the ring is worn as a ring… The idea came about when an Avakian client asked for a ring she could wear as a pendant on a sautoir. «The Caché ring is a fabulous precious jewel from every imaginable angle», says marketing director Corinne Avakian. «Given the complicated gem setting processes required, it takes several weeks to manufacture one ring».
Caché comes in a choice of blue sapphires, emeralds, rubies, black, white and yellow diamonds, pink sapphires or amethysts. Plans for future rings in the collection include a narrower, more delicate version designed with a younger audience in mind or for women who prefer an understated, discreet style.
