Description
Early to mid-century Straits Chinese white gold ring set with diamonds weighing 0.75ctw in 18k.
This 5 stone diamond ring is an ornate instance of the first generation of white gold rings in this region.
The mount is sturdy yet lightweight, in part from its high level of palladium which gives the ring its antiquity grey.
Post war retro white gold rings tend to be plated white, without the organic grey treasured in antique rings.
This region’s 5-stone rings are crafted with a boxy gallery so as to balance the way diamonds are raised high and singularly.
Two tiers of ‘rings’ compact under the diamonds, this ring has a unique gallery, even for intricate rings.
The outcome is a ring with quaint attention blanketed over a classic style, part of the ‘tall’ genre, and a quiet statement when sported alone.
