A magnificent antique amethyst and diamond cocktail ring, beautifully handmade in solid 18ct white gold and dating to approximately the 1930s. Featuring an impressive natural amethyst complemented by 0.40 carats of original single-cut natural diamonds, this is a particularly striking example of Art Deco-era fine jewellery, combining beautiful gemstone colour with traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
At the centre sits a stunning amethyst, measuring approximately 11mm x 9mm and displaying the beautiful purple tones for which this gemstone is so admired. Its generous proportions create an impressive focal point, beautifully complemented by the bright white gold setting and surrounding natural diamonds.
The ring is further enhanced by an attractive arrangement of original single-cut diamonds, with a combined weight of approximately 0.40 carats, as marked on the shank. These beautiful antique diamonds retain their original character, displaying the distinctive faceting and delicate flashes of brilliance associated with traditional single-cut stones.
The combination of rich purple amethyst and sparkling white diamonds creates a wonderfully elegant contrast, while the carefully handmade setting reflects the attention to detail and craftsmanship associated with fine jewellery of the period.
Dating to approximately the 1930s, this ring is a beautiful example of Art Deco-era design, featuring the bold gemstone presence and refined decorative styling that make jewellery from this period so desirable.
The ring has been individually handmade rather than produced using modern mass-production techniques, with its carefully constructed setting showcasing the skill and traditional craftsmanship involved in its creation.
Crafted in solid 18ct white gold, the ring is unmarked for metal purity, although this has been professionally confirmed through XRF testing. The shank bears a marking indicating the 0.40ct total diamond weight.
The white gold has been professionally rhodium plated, giving the ring a beautifully bright, reflective finish that enhances the sparkle of the diamonds and provides an elegant contrast against the central amethyst.
Weighing approximately 4.4 grams and measuring a UK ring size R, this is a substantial yet beautifully proportioned antique ring, offering excellent presence and a comfortable feel when worn.
A truly special example of antique fine jewellery, combining a beautiful natural amethyst, original single-cut diamonds and traditional handmade craftsmanship from the 1930s.
