Here is a magnificent ring that is so amazing to admire from every angle and one that will always be admired each and every time that it is worn.
Hand made in Austria in the 1940's, not only is the design incredible, but it was made in not only 14 carat yellow gold but rose gold as well, making an astonishing contrast that highlights the design so well.
Sitting in the centre is a lovely citrine that measures 8.20 carats and is the perfect colour to compliment the rose and yellow gold.
Measuring 20.4mm across by 20.4mm, this is an exceptional ring that is destined to be cherished.

Vintage Retro era citrine ring made in rose and yellow gold
When was the Retro period?
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.
