Made in 18 carat rose gold, the rose gold has such a beautiful warm tone to it that looks even more amazing against the skin. The colour has such lovely tone to it that accentuates the aquamarine.
The beautiful bold design of the ring measures 17.9mm across at the top and tapers down to 6.7mm wide at the back, and on one side there is a beautiful scroll design, and on the other an elegant step-down effect.
Then sitting proudly in the centre is a magnificent aquamarine that measures 4.58 carats and displays such a perfect blue colour. The colour of this aquamarine is just perfect and combined with the incredible design of the ring, there is little doubt that this ring will always be admired.

A brief history of Retro jewellery:
Retro describes jewellery produced between the later part of the 1930’s to the 1950’s, and also includes World War II. The styles and designs of the Art Deco jewellery still influenced designers in this era.
The retro movement was can be considered to be started by the head of Christie’s jewellery department, Francois Curiel. He named the era for customers who requested jewellery with the Retro look. His realization of this era brought great popularity and prestige to retro jewellery, resulting in the increase in value and price to these designs. Retro jewellery can be easily characterised by large chunky somewhat over the top designs in not only brooches and bracelets but also rings. The use of rose gold was also quite common even in 18ct.
Large gem set brooches with a combination of such stones such as rubies and diamonds in a floral motif where not uncommon.
