Vintage Buckle Ring 18k Gold and Diamonds Retro Ring circa 1940 (6189)
Vintage Buckle Ring 18k Gold and Diamonds Retro Ring circa 1940 (6189)
Vintage Retro ring. 18k yellow gold and diamonds. Made circa 1940's.
Measurements: US size 8. 0.75ct diamonds. Weighs 6.8 grams.
Description: Exceptionally well made and luxurious buckle ring. While buckle rings were popular during the Victorian era, this one is clearly a little later. The belt part of the ring (the hoop), is textured gold - possibly imitating leather as it naturalistically arches and curves and appears to pass through the buckle. The buckle is made of white gold to offset the diamonds to greater advantage and contrast with the yellow gold for greater effect. The diamonds are particularly well set and the workmanship in all is especially fine.
Marks: no marks but gold was acid tested to ensure metal purity.
Condition: good with wear commensurate with age. Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
