This is an
early 20th century sapphire and diamond ring, circa 1915. It has a lozenge cluster of sapphires at the center, formed by a square cut and four triangular cut sapphires, with a border of single cut diamonds, a pierced gallery, and a plain shank. It is simple but I think the overall shape - which has the vaguest suggestion of a flower, with the subtle indentations in the center of each side of the diamond - is really pretty.
This one, a definite crowd-pleaser, is an e
arly 20th century diamond and sapphire ring, circa 1910. It is millegrain set with a cushion cut diamond, the surrounding calibre cut sapphires forming a lozenge, diamond dart highlights to the corners and a diamond set outer border. I think it's really spectacular.
This round beauty is a contemporary Art Deco-inspired piece by Tiffany & Co., part of
the Great Gatsby collection. Fabulous, yes? And very easy to see the Deco influence, especially when it's in such company.
Next up is an antique platinum-mounted sapphire and diamond marquise shaped cluster ring, circa 1890.
The ring has a central marquise shaped sapphire bordered by lines of diamonds and calibre cut sapphires. The border is formed to look sort of like a ribbon wrapped around the central sapphire and flattened. I was surprised by the date; doesn't it look Art Deco? A forward-thinking jeweler, I guess.
This baby is another ring that is both huge and beautifully designed. It's another contemporary Art Deco-style piece, set with a 7.11 carat cushion-cut sapphire and just under 3 carats of baguette and oval-cut diamonds. I wouldn't turn this one down.
This ring is quintessentially Art Deco in a way that makes me think of buildings, but it's also a little early to be called Art Deco in terms of age. This a
ntique cabochon sapphire & diamond ring, is from 1905. It features an oval cabochon sapphire centered in a pierced and millegrain set bombe diamond mount.
This
knockout of an Art Deco cocktail ring centers a 5.33 carat Burma sapphire, so its chances at fabulousness were pretty high from the get-go. It's further embellished by an oblong two-row border of calibre cut sapphires and diamonds, with a scalloped edge, and diamond line shoulders.
