| A touch of history ... Pink golden diamonds and rubies Retro ring. OBJECT GROUP : rings COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : Most probably Belgium STYLE : Retro PERIOD : 1940 MATERIAL : 18K red gold and silver TECHNIQUE : Silver on gold. This technique finds its origin centuries ago, when jewelers believed that only a silver mounting could render the true beauty of a diamond. Backing the silver jewel with a (thin) layer of gold was a practical precaution taken to avoid the silver jewelry leaving black stains on clothing or skin. Over the years, with the recognition (and thus use) of platinum as precious metal and the development of white gold the practical necessity to use bi-colored material became obsolete. The argument to use bi-colored metals became more an estetic then a practical one. STONES : 15 rose cut diamonds and six Verneuil rubies. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts. WEIGHT : 8.00 gram (5.14 dwt) HALLMARKS : Although it doesn’t carry any official control marks we believe it is of Belgian origin. CONDITION : Excellent condition RING SIZE CONTINENTAL: 18¾ & 59 RING SIZE US: 8¾ RING SIZE UK: R | ||
