Art Deco Articulated Ring
There's art deco and there's Art Deco. This ring, an articulated band with alternating blue sapphires and old mine diamonds in square settings, each one individually hinged, must be somewhere near the peak. It dates from the 1920s, crafted in platinum with intricate scrolled/foliate engravings along each side and fine millegrain edges bordering the stones.
A marvel of ingenuity and craftsmanship, combining elegant proportion and geometry with technological innovation - harnessing the strength of the newly-workable metal (platinum) to create something novel and utterly remarkable.

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.
