1940s Diamond Tank Ring
A retro Tank Ring dating from the 1940s. It's set with diamonds: a central old mine cut flanked by rose cuts set into two protruding half-cylindrical domes. The styling of jewellery from this period was loosely influenced by the heavy war machinery of the world wars, hence the name and the bulky, angular designs (this one's definately got some sort of heavy artillery gun vibes). Aesthetically, they often also display hints of the preceding Art Deco period. This one's more dainty than most, crafted in 18ct rose gold with platinum settings.

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.
