Art Deco 18K gold platinum ruby diamond ring

For sale is one of two curated Art Deco rings from the same distinguished family, crafted by their personal jeweler in the 1930s. These rings were made for two ladies of the family—one featuring calibre rubies, and the other adorned with blue sapphires.

This particular ring showcases perfectly calibre rubies arranged in sleek lines between sparkling diamonds. All the diamonds are cut in transitional style with the central biggest one weighing approximately 0.15ct. The channel setting requires precision and it is time consuming, which explains why it is rare to find work of this quality today.

The design of the head of the ring takes an unexpected turn from the typical round or circled forms, featuring a fan-shaped head and thus reflecting the glamour of the 1920s/30s, when women sought personality and freedom through jewelry. The gemstones are first set in platinum and the body of the ring mounted in 18K yellow gold.

The ring is stamped with the French dog head hallmark for platinum and the French eagle’s head hallmark for 18K gold.

These rings are not just beautiful adornments; they are a bridge to a time when jewelry served as a tangible connection between family members. Owning such a piece allows one to hold a piece of history and to rediscover stories that might otherwise remain untold.

The ring is resizable at buyer’s cost, please contact us before you pass your order.
