Art Deco Octagon Ring
Stunning Art Deco era cocktail ring with a large, octagonal panel head set with brilliant white diamonds and a beautiful black boulder opal centre. The craftsmanship and design are exceptional, and the arrangement of the stones, on close inspection, is somewhat remarkable: one side features a larger diamond, with similar spread to the central opal, setting up a sort of secret 'Toi et Moi' situation - two principal stones, but one is hidden in the setting. The back gallery features wonderful pierced openwork reminiscent of a sun or star, and the 18 carat yellow gold band sets up a gorgeous bimetal contrast with the cool-toned platinum settings. English, circa 1920.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
