Art Deco Four-Stone Diamond Ring
A rare Art Deco four-stone diamond ring, dating from the 1930s. The stones are transitional cuts, resting in platinum prong mounts which feature a series of open arches, and the band itself is crafted in buttery 18 carat gold.
Odd numbers are often favoured in a design context; in anything from interiors to jewellery to gardens etc. the golden rule is typically threes, fives, sevens, etc. The 'Rule of Odds', as it is often referred to, states that designs featuring an odd number of elements will be more visually dynamic and interesting than those featuring their even counterparts. The rationale is that, with odd numbers, your brain cannot pair them up or group them as easily; there is always one thing left over which forces your eyes to keep moving around the room/space/ring/thing. However, given how common it is to see three-stone and five-stone (and of course solitaire) rings, when a four-stone does come along it's actually quite striking.

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.
