From a Private Collection
Emerald and diamond ring, 'Tour Eiffel Grande', Marina B, circa 1988
Collet-set with a step-cut emerald, the mount of geometric design accented by fancy-cut diamonds, size 53, signed Marina B, numbered, maker's mark for Jean Claude Duhem, French assay mark for gold.

Cf.: Viviane Jutheau de Witt, Marina B - The Art of Jewellery Design, Milan, 2003, pg. 146 for the Tour Eiffel octogone ring dated 1980 which was a one-of-a-kind creation, this ring is highly similar to the Tour Eiffel Grande ring.
