Monture translates literally as “mount,” referring to the setting of the ring, but in the world of vintage/antique jewelry, the word means so much more. During the 20th century, esteemed jewelry houses such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels would create custom-commissioned rings for their select clientele, which they designated as “Monture”. We’ve come across a few of these babies in our time, each one incredibly unique and reflective of the delicious craftsmanship and style of the respective jewelry houses. This beautiful old mine-cut ring is a Monture by Van Cleef & Arpels, centering on a chunky old mine and an equally beautiful Old European cut, flanked by this twisty, ribbon-like motif studded with more old cuts. It is almost like a princess ring in its presence and scale, offering a romantic design with the charm and character of old-cut diamonds. It is such a special piece; we are quite fond of her.
What a special, unique, and truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring or right-hand ring she would make.
