This Vintage Sapphire Ring with Pearl is crafted in a combination of polished and elegantly matted 18k yellow gold, weighing 17.2g and measuring 25mm wide and 11mm deep. This strikingly three dimensional vintage 1950's ring of 'avant-garde' design could have been inspired by the English Arts & Crafts movement, a contemporary of the Art Nouveau movement in other parts of Europe, or it could just be left open interpretation! Nevertheless, this creatively and elaborately designed Vintage Ring incorporates an openwork plaque of artfully domed, ovular format, adorned with a fascinating assemblage of asymmetrically juxtaposed cultured pearls and sapphires, all of which are mounted on a matted yellow gold base, beneath the openwork domed 'roof'. The larger spherical cultured pearl measures 8.77mm in diameter, graded 'grayish-white' color with 'good' nacre, while the smaller spherical pearl measuring 5.5mm in diameter is graded 'pinkish-white' color, also with 'good' nacre'. The four alluring sapphires simulating 'buds on stems' each measuring 2.7mm in diameter, cumulatively weigh 0.50cts and are graded 'vivid royal-blue' color and 'very good' clarity. This 'avant-garde' vintage pearl and Sapphire Ring features a very smooth undercarriage and artfully designed, tapering shoulders and band, and a sizable shank rendered in matted yellow gold and bordered by polished gold to enhance the aesthetic charm and beauty of the ring.
