Black and White Pearl Cluster Ring, c.1950s

This cluster ring dates to the 1950s and features two varieties of pearls. At the centre of the ring you have a cabochon cut, black pearl. It is oval shaped and measures 7.4mm x 6.2mm. It is claw set and surrounded by a perfectly set halo of white pearls. The cultured pearls in the halo are rub over set, and the setting work has been crafted to give a rope effect. Each of these pearls measures 3.6mm in diameter. The gold used to secure the stones and create the band is 14 carat, which means the origin of this ring is more than likely America.
