Description

The most amazing vintage yellow sapphire ring. The centre stone – certified as natural, unheated and originating from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) – is a rich, honey-coloured orangey yellow. The stone is rubover set in 18k yellow gold and surrounded by 24 high white and internally clean round brilliant cut diamonds which graduate in size as they travel around the sapphire. Delightful detailing in the gallery leading to a slim, platinum shank with a further four (two each side) diamond in the shoulders. This is just wonderful.

Accompanied by a sapphire report from Gemmological Certification Services (GCS) stating the sapphire shows no indication of heating, and is Sri Lankan (Ceylon) in origin.

Cut – Cushion cut sapphire with round brilliant cut diamonds.

Colour – The diamonds are G to H.

FAQs

The retro jewellery period, spanning roughly from the 1930s to the 1950s, is characterised by bold, sculptural designs, heavy use of yellow and rose gold, and prominent gemstone settings often featuring large coloured stones alongside diamonds.

These pieces typically combine platinum or white gold for the stone settings to enhance diamond brilliance, paired with yellow gold accents, using natural gemstones like sapphires, rubies, or emeralds.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period-specific craftsmanship such as hand-cut gemstones, specific claw or bezel settings, traditional metal hallmarks, and signs of age-appropriate wear on the metal and stone facets.

A statement ring is best worn as a standalone piece on the hand, paired with minimalist clothing to allow the vibrant colour and intricate gemstone cluster to draw focus.

Store them in individual fabric-lined compartments to prevent scratching, clean them gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have professional jewellers inspect the settings periodically to ensure stone security.
