This dreamy antique ring features a silky baroque pearl which gleams with iridescence and displays a range of colours as it gleams in the light. Baroque pearls are irregularly shaped, often with an asymmetrical appearance that gives them a unique character and charm.
Two large rose cut diamonds frame both above and below the pearl, held in a structural quirky head. The head is also filled with six smaller old-cut diamonds, and the shoulders contain six more diamonds. The ring holds 0.15ct of diamonds in total.
There is an inscription of two names and a day in 1917 inside the band.
This ring, circa 1917, is in good condition with light marks commensurate with age.
