This Art Deco sterling silver swivel eternity ring dates to circa 1920. The item consists of a hinged day and night band design that allows the wearer to switch between colour and design combinations. The central channel-set red paste stones are flanked by hinged swivelling bands of square-cut clear paste stones. Each element employs a mil-grain border and fine engraving along the metal edges. Some individual paste stones display slight discolouration and darkening due to age, while the underlying silver retains its polished metallic finish. The full band width measures 8.5 mm, with individual coloured bands measuring 2.9 mm and clear bands measuring 2.7 mm in width. This versatile antique ring functions primarily as an eternity band or collectable jewellery item. The sturdy hinge mechanism operates smoothly to transform the visual presentation from silver and clear stones to a combination including red paste. The construction prevents traditional sizing alterations, fitting a UK size K 1/2 or US size 5.5 as originally cast. It integrates into modern jewellery collections as a wearable antique or symbolic gift for everyday wear or special occasions.

FAQs

Originating in the early 20th century, particularly during the Art Deco era, Day and Night rings feature hinged outer bands that swivel around a central core, allowing the wearer to display different gemstone combinations for daytime or evening wear.

These rings were commonly crafted from sterling silver or platinum and featured channel-set stones, including natural diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or calibre-cut glass paste substitutes.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut square or rectangular paste stones, geometric channel settings, millgrain detailing along the edges, period metal purity stamps, and functional mechanical hinges.

The convertible mechanism allows a swivel ring to function as a standalone statement piece or as part of a stacked band arrangement, adapting to both casual and formal attire.

Because paste glass and mechanical hinges are susceptible to water damage and tarnish, these rings should be cleaned using a dry microfibre cloth and stored in a dry environment.
