Period: likely fabricated c. 1940s, but with a marked early-Edwardian design vocabulary; likely European in origin. The ring has the delicacy and mixed-metal construction associated with earlier Edwardian pieces, with a squat rectangular sapphire framed by small diamonds and finely worked platinum over an 18K yellow gold shank. It also very clearly shows its age. There is a slight, almost quaint wonkiness to the construction, along with subtle color differences at some of the joints. None of this compromises the ring structurally, and in this case we find that it adds considerably to the piece’s unabashed age and distinctive charm. It feels less like something preserved in perfect stasis than an object that has actually lived a life. This is a piece for those who proudly love things that look and feel old.
Materials: 18K yellow gold; platinum
Hallmarks: the piece is stamped “18CT,” “PLAT,” and “374,” the latter applied with a manual stamp and likely serving as a fabrication, inventory, or workshop number
Dimensions: the top of the ring measures approx. 5.5 mm north to south; the piece stands 4.6 mm tall above the finger
Size: 7 (free sizing—contact us for more info)
Gemstones:
Center: 5.20 mm x 3.90 mm elongated emerald cut sapphire. The stone was assessed in its mounting by a GIA GG and determined to be natural. However, origin, treatment status, and complete gemological makeup cannot be guaranteed without formal laboratory examination.
Accents: two Round Brilliant Cut and four Single Cut diamonds (.08 ctw., est.), approx. near-colorless and SI1–I1 clarity overall. Accent diamonds assessed in their mounting by a GIA GD; weights and grades are approximate and determined as mounting permits.
