Very strong design handmade Retro ring with diamonds and rubies from the forties

This eye-catching 18K red gold Retro ring from 1945 displays a strong architectural design with an abundance of glamour. Followed by a row of four square cut rubies on each side, a two lobed swell gushes from the buckle-shape with 18 platinum-encrusted single brilliant cut diamonds onto the other side of the shank. All that contemporary flair, while still fitting as a glove on any woman's hand.

Antique jewelry object group: rings

(more info on styles)

Style specifics: Retro Style is a recent designation for the period in the forties when large scale, stylized geometric forms, drapes, bows or ribbons were all the rage. Pink Gold, set with colored stones, sometimes in floral forms was common.

(events and facts in 1945)

Material: 18K red gold and platinum, although most of this jewel is in red gold, the diamonds are set in platinum. This finds it origin in a much older period (see explanation on silver on gold).
