Here is a truly magnificent 18ct rose gold and platinum diamond Retro ring made in France in the 1940's that is certain to get the attention it rightly deserves.
Retro rings were often made with large bold designs as can be seen here in this ring, and yet all the while keeping an incredible sculptured look to it.
Made in 18ct rose gold, the colour of the rose gold has that gorgeous soft warm colour to it that is so prized and sought after today. This rose gold really compliments the diamonds and the design as a whole and makes this ring stand out even more on the finger.
With a wonderful curve to the top, it is set with twelve early brilliant cut diamonds that total 1.20 carats and certainly give off an impressive sparkle to the ring. And then so expertly made and set, are three baguette cut diamonds on each side adding a further 0.18 carats of diamonds to the ring.
The way these baguette cut diamonds are angled shows how much thought and attention to detail went into making this ring. Measuring 16.8mm from left to right at the edge of the baguette cut diamonds by 14.3mm wide, this is one ring that will always stand out whenever it is worn.
Retro diamond rings have seen a massive resurgence in popularity in recent years, and this truly is one of the finest around.

A brief history on Retro jewellery.
Retro describes jewellery produced between the later part of the 1930’s to the 1940’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.
