This Retro cocktail ring dates from the 1950 period and exhibits a bold Retro Modern style. It is made from 18ct yellow gold, a natural aquamarine, and diamonds, displaying light blue and gold colours with polished and detailed finishes. The central gemstone is a large emerald-cut natural aquamarine secured in four yellow gold claws, complemented by diamond-set tank shoulders and intricate decorative detail on the basket underside. The setting measures 16.5 x 14 mm for the aquamarine, 3 mm for the old-cut diamonds, sits 8 mm from the finger, and has a band width of 9 mm at the front, weighing 11.5 g with a GB size of M 1/4 and a US size of 6 1/2. Visible details include the step-cut facets of the pale blue aquamarine, the reflective mirrored surfaces within the stone, and the small round diamonds glittering along the curved shoulder mountings. The heavy yellow gold construction provides a robust foundation for the prominent rectangular centerpiece. This piece is suitable for wear as a statement cocktail ring at formal events, parties, or special evening gatherings.

FAQs

Retro era jewellery, originating in the late 1930s and 1940s, features bold geometric shapes, architectural tank-track motifs, and substantial central gemstones set in yellow or rose gold.

Retro cocktail rings typically utilise 18ct yellow or rose gold, mounting large faceted gemstones such as aquamarines, citrines, or amethysts alongside diamond accents.

Authentic Retro rings display heavy gold settings, architectural or machine-inspired shoulder detailing, step-cut gemstones, and period hallmark stamps.

Statement cocktail rings serve as singular focal pieces, styled effectively alongside minimalist evening wear or sharp tailoring to highlight the central gemstone.

Natural aquamarine jewellery should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or extreme temperature changes.
