A ballerina ring is a cluster ring style featuring a central round or oval gemstone surrounded by two concentric tiers of tapered baguette or brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a silhouette resembling a ballerinas tutu.

Mid-century rings of this era are predominantly crafted from 18-carat or 14-carat yellow and white gold, platinum, and set with genuine diamonds and precious gemstones.

Authentic pieces from the mid-century period often feature period-specific hallmarks, hand-finished settings, and distinctive cluster geometry typical of 1950s and 1960s manufacturing techniques.

Statement rings of this scale can be worn alone as a focal piece on the hand to highlight their intricate design, pairing well with understated modern or classic attire.

Store fine jewellery in a fabric-lined box away from other pieces to prevent scratching, and clean periodically using warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain brilliance.
