In 17th-century France, it was not uncommon for aristocrats to keep monkeys as companions — capricious beings that reflected both human vanity and playfulness.
From this image was born “Voleur” — the French word for “thief.”
In a noble salon, a mischievous little monkey has stolen a necklace of rubies and pearls.
Perched high above, out of human reach,he pauses for a moment and fixes his gaze on us, as if taking quiet delight in the commotion below.
This ring is set with a rough-cut opaque ruby (3.5 mm), whose irregular surface releases the discreet charm of antique gemstones —recalling the depth and character that only time can bestow.
More than a piece of jewelry, it is a small theatre upon the finger — a work of art where a silent story unfolds with every movement of the hand.
