in 14k Gold & Silver
$ 4,500.00
* * SOLD * *
An Edwardian era cluster ring, modeled in 14k rose gold and silver, whose face is a sleek, gem-encrusted parallelogram. This low-profile panel is set with sixteen, chunky old mine cut diamonds and twelve old cut sapphires (gemstone CTW is approx 2 carats). These are held in place by the ring's cheerful, scalloped edge, which functions like a series of half bezels, and small beaded prongs that splash up to secure the interior gems. This ring is entirely hand-fabricated, and its reverse is especially lovely, with its tidy series of cells. The ring shank is pinched at the shoulder— it widens, then tapers toward the base. We love the bold graphic quality of this ring, which is so unusual for the period, and the repetition of form (a parallelogram inside a parallelogram)! This is striking and very flattering in wear. Likely French.
