Platinum sapphire and diamond ring from the 1920’s Art Deco era
The beauty of platinum and how well it can be used in jewellery is evident in this magnificent platinum sapphire and diamond ring from the 1920's Art Deco era. Platinum is the purest of all the precious metals used in jewellery making thanks in part to its pure white colour and ability to be drawn into a fine wire that allows the jeweller to make such an intricate piece as can be seen in this ring, all the while retaining the strength to hold and support the sapphire and diamonds set into this ring. Sitting proudly amongst the diamonds and beautiful pierce work is a lovely natural oval sapphire that has such a fine blue colour matched with excellent transparency to allow you to see right through the stone. And then there are twenty eight antique European cut diamonds that total 1.12Â carats and sparkle magnificently. Where the diamonds are set into that pierce work will just captivate and take your breath away every time that you look and admire it. Measuring 13.8mm wide across the centre, this is such an amazing example of a genuine Art Deco sapphire and diamond ring. Stock# ES8227 Circa: 1920 $7,250
