Provenance Original to c.1925, this Art Deco cluster ring is set to centre with an incredible round old-cut diamond, approximately 1.25ct. Entirely facetted by hand, no two old-cut diamonds are ever identical. Surrounded by an octagonal cluster design, two concentric rings grain-set with tiny single-cut diamonds, meticulously set to follow the crisp lines of the octagon. The inner section is bordered by millegrain edging, the outer by neat polished borders. Between the two, fine openwork creates a sense of lightness and separation, giving the illusion that the concentric octagons are suspended in perfect balance, almost as though floating without visible support. The gallery is solid and closed but adorned with delicate volute motifs which scroll and coil in a repetative pattern all the way around. The shoulders are further set two single-cut diamonds each, adding a subtle yet slightly more delicate finish to the ring. Despite its impressive size and sparkle, the profile of the ring is extraordinarily low. It almost sits in flush with the finger, making it extremely comfortable and enjoyable to wear. This ring reflects the rigid geometry, sleek lines and symmetry that defined the Art Deco movement. My favourite thing about this ring is that despite its strong architectural form, the soft, gentle twinkle of the old-cut diamonds lend it an unexpected sense of softness and femininity. It strikes a rare balance: both bold and balanced, with a confident silhouette that still feels light, refined and almost ethereal in its elegance.
