  • About the artwork

    This striking vintage ring, crafted in 18K red gold, is a beautiful blend of Retro and Fifties design, hailing from Belgium around 1950. Set with fourteen natural rose cut diamonds and seven vivid lab-produced rubies, the ring exemplifies the boldgeometric forms and playful use of colour typical of the era. The rubies and diamonds are elegantly arranged, creating a captivating contrast between the warm gold and the fiery stones. With its elegant lines and rich history, this piece captures theessence of mid-century glamour and the joyful exuberance of Retro style.

    Diamonds
    Fourteen rose cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts.

    - All diamonds, regardless of their size or shape, in our vintage and antique jewellery are verified as 100% natural by the IJGC laboratory.

    - We do not sell lab-grown (synthetic) diamonds.

    Precious stones
    Seven rubies (lab produced) (also called verneuil ruby). The fact that these stones are lab produced has no influence on the value of this jewel. Natural rubies and lab produced rubies were both used in this era, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value.

    Birthstones
    Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April and ruby for July.

    Hallmarks
    The outer shape of the master mark is in the shape of a barrel and was taken offically in use in Belgium since 1952 (but was already used before that date).
