This cocktail ring dates from the 1940s Retro Modern period and is made from 14-carat gold and green aventurine. The polished green aventurine stone takes an elongated cabochon shape, secured inside a chunky gold scrollwork mount with architectural shoulders, beaded terminals, and a very worn maker's mark on the interior. The face of the piece measures 3 x 1.2 cm. Such a ring fits well into a modern jewellery collection and is worn on the hand as a statement accessory for evening events or formal daily wear. The sculptural scrolled side accents and high-polished gold finish create a distinct Art Deco glamour aesthetic, complementing various personal styles and occasions where bold vintage items are desired.

FAQs

Retro era jewellery from the 1940s is characterized by sculptural gold settings, bold architectural curves, and large focal gemstones or cabochons designed to compensate for wartime gem shortages.

Cocktail rings of this period commonly feature rose, green, or yellow gold alloys paired with polished quartz cabochons, aquamarines, citrines, or synthetic accent stones.

Authentic pieces display period hallmarks, substantial hollow or cast construction, distinct fluted or rolled gold shoulders, and typical mid-century claw or bezel gemstone settings.

A mid-century cocktail ring is best worn as a singular accent piece alongside understated contemporary tailoring or simple formal evening attire to highlight the metalwork.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals that can alter translucent minerals like aventurine.
