Hand made in 18ct rose and yellow gold in France in the 1940's, jewellery of the Retro era can be easily characterised by large bold designs that were often made in rose gold. 18ct rose gold has such a wonderful warm tone to it which can be seen in this ring and then the claws are made in 18ct yellow gold for a contrasting difference and to highlight the natural straw colour from the sapphire.
