Art Deco Pearl & Onyx Cocktail Ring
The onyx and diamond panel ring is quintessentially Art Deco. While examples may be found that pre-date the period, it really came into its own during the 1920s, playing on sharp contrasts, bold gemstone combinations, and unique geometric forms. This example utilises a reeded sunburst pattern, carved into the onyx, giving the central pearl rays of negative light. A fine platinum border with millegrain edges and rose cut diamond accents adds glitter and sparkle, and the fine detailing continues around the gallery and down the sides of the shoulders. It's an exquisite cocktail ring any way you look at it: the design and form are exceptionally accomplished from concept to execution, complementary contrasts between the onyx and pearl (cold/dark vs warm/light) and the platinum and rich 18 carat gold (cool vs warm).

A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm!
