A magnificent vintage diamond solitaire ring, crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold and featuring a beautiful 0.55ct natural brilliant-cut diamond within a distinctive ten-claw gypsy-style setting. Combining substantial gold craftsmanship with traditional styling and impressive diamond presence, this is a particularly attractive example of vintage fine jewellery.
The ring features a beautifully proportioned natural round brilliant-cut diamond, measuring approximately 5.2mm x 5.25mm and weighing an estimated 0.55 carats. The diamond displays a bright, near-colourless appearance, assessed as approximately G/H colour and SI2 clarity, with lovely natural brilliance and sparkle.
The diamond does contain some small dark inclusions, characteristic of its assessed SI2 clarity, although these do not significantly detract from its attractive overall appearance.
A particularly distinctive feature is the traditional ten-claw setting, with the diamond securely positioned within a substantial surround of rich yellow gold. This unusual arrangement combines the protective appearance of a classic gypsy-style setting with the decorative character of individually formed claws.
The surrounding goldwork creates a bold and substantial appearance on the finger, with the central diamond providing an elegant focal point against the warmth of the 18ct yellow gold.
Crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold, the ring weighs approximately 4.8 grams, offering a reassuringly sturdy feel and excellent quality throughout.
The ring is stamped 18ct, although the original hallmark has become worn over time. Its precious metal content has additionally been professionally tested and confirmed as solid 18ct gold.
Measuring a generous UK ring size Z, this is a particularly desirable find for those seeking a larger-sized vintage diamond ring. The ring appears to have been professionally enlarged at some point in its history, allowing it to accommodate a larger finger while retaining its attractive traditional design.
Presented in excellent overall vintage condition, the ring has been professionally ultrasonically cleaned and polished. The diamond settings have been checked, and although two of the ten claws display some wear, the diamond remains securely held within its setting.
A wonderful example of traditional diamond jewellery, combining a beautiful natural diamond, substantial 18ct gold construction and a distinctive setting rarely encountered in contemporary designs.
