Art Deco Asscher Cut Sapphire and Diamond Ring, c.1920s

A 1.00 carat asscher cut sapphire is wrapped within a twinkling 1.90 carat, grain set border of old cut diamonds at the heart of this circa 1920s halo ring. The wonderful deep blue sapphire works in harmony with the old cut diamonds, which are G in colour and VS in clarity. These antique jewels are hand-set in millegrained platinum atop an 18 carat yellow gold setting which was handmade in consummate Art Deco style with an intricate ornamental gallery, and cheniers beneath each of its raised shoulders.
