This vintage filigree aquamarine ring is crafted in 14k yellow gold, weighs exactly 4.0g and measures 17mm wide and 6.5mm deep. In stunning 1930's vintage period design, this highly ornate ring exposes an assemblage of five well-matched and precision-cut aquamarines appreciatively juxtaposed to adorn an enchanting hexagonal plaque. This assemblage is composed of two bezel-set hexagon-faceted aquamarines cumulatively weighing 1.20cts, measuring 7mm long and 4mm wide graded 'grayish sky-blue' color and 'good' clarity. An additional pair of matching grade bezel-set square-faceted aquamarines, cumulatively weighing 0.60cts measuring 4mm long and 4mm wide complements the hexagonal gemstones all mounted within delicately mille grained contours, surmounted by a centrally positioned bezel-set 0.04ct round-faceted aquamarine of matching color and clarity. An intricately chased and granulated hexagonal perimeter surrounds the delightful azure gemstones, lending a magnificent color-contrasting element to the already enriched aesthetic of the ring. An elaborate filigree gallery complements the captivating hexagonal plaque, embraced by highly ornate filigree accentuated shoulders that merge to form a spherical 14k yellow gold band and an easily sizeable shank.

In addition to its great aesthetic appeal and popularity as a gemstone, aquamarine was also used as a healing stone to treat anxiety and was thought to increase intelligence and, as recounted by a legend, to keep sailors safe! Ranging in color from almost 'colorless pale-blue' to 'blue-green' or 'teal', this beautiful gemstone was widely used during the 1930's and 1940's vintage jewelry as fashions changed and jewelry became bold and daring.
