Rings

Description

An 18-karat white gold ring set with three oval sapphires (appr. 1.5 ct) and two brilliant-cut diamonds (totaling 1 ct) set in yellow gold prongs and surrounded by 26 eight-cut diamonds (totaling 1 ct). The ring is a prototype number one of Ms. Hogervorst's own design, crafted by Burnier jeweler in The Hague. Ring size 16 mm / US 5, with a removable spring (so it can be larger).


Netherlands, circa 1970s

 

Burnier, a jeweler since the early 19th century, was located on Westeinde and operated a so-called closed business. Anyone who rang the doorbell was greeted by Mr. Burnier at the end of a long marble hallway, entering a spacious salon where only a single piece of silver was displayed in a glass case. After the customer had expressed their request, an assistant—usually of noble descent—would bring the requested jewelry. Burnier's clientele was primarily Dutch nobility, but he also supplied the Dutch court.

Love the owner. Very strong and wise lady. Family owned shop, and she has been working there 55 years. She seems cold at the beginning but she’s really patient and friendly, allow you to try everything but never push you to make a decision. We discussed how to change the size of my ring, she had really strong and professional opinion, just listen to her , you are in good hand. Very very nice collections and you can trust their experiences.

I visited the shop June 2022. I ended up buying a lovely 1970s emerald ring. She was able to resize it that day! If I visit Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by this store.

Perfect view of a beautiful piece of antique and always willing to provide an explanation. Never the compulsion to buy, customer friendliness and knowledge at its best! By the way, I'm not related.
