Overview
An impressive vintage statement cocktail ring designed as a multi-tiered floral dome. The piece features a central elevated round brilliant-cut diamond surrounded by concentric tiers of pavé- and prong-set accent diamonds, creating an expansive, high-relief burst of brilliance.
Story
Post-war cocktail culture gave rise to large right-hand rings crafted specifically to catch candlelight across a dinner table, signaling personal style, prosperity, and sophisticated glamour.
Maker / Origin
While often unsigned or bearing maker's initials for luxury retail jewelers, rings of this period were produced by skilled goldsmiths using cast wire galleries and hand-set prongs to achieve maximum height and light refraction.
Condition & Value
All diamonds appear intact and securely prong-set with no obvious empty settings or broken prongs visible. Fine estate condition with light surface micro-wear typical of gentle wear.
