This fascinating mid-20th-century ring combines the elegance of 18k white gold with a silver setting and a historic diamond cut. It dates from the period between 1950 and 1975, an era that marked the transition from postwar jewelry to modern art.

At the center of the ring sits a rose-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.30 carats. The rose cut, one of the oldest diamond cuts, is characterized by its flat underside and a dome of triangular facets reminiscent of rose petals.. This cut gives the stone a soft, romantic shimmer that differs significantly from the intense brilliance of modern cuts.

The diamond is set in a grain setting, a delicate technique in which the stone is held by tiny metal beadsThis setting emphasizes the vintage character of the ring and makes the diamond appear to be framed by delicate metal lace.

With a ring size of 51 and a total weight of just 1.62 grams, this ring is pleasantly light to wear. The combination of 750 white gold and the silver setting gives it a subtle, two-tone look. The "750" stamp confirms the high gold content of 18 carats.

Despite moderate signs of wear, this ring retains its charm. The estimated value of €1,200 reflects both the quality of the materials used and the historical and artisanal value of the piece.

The diamond itself exhibits a high color grade, indicating exceptional purity and clarity. Its low clarity and old-cut shape underscore the authenticity and character of this vintage piece of jewelry.
