A spectacular vintage diamond dress ring, dating to circa 1960 and made in 18ct white gold. Seven rows of diamonds are set in a concave, domed form — alternating between round brilliant cuts and baguettes — creating a surface that catches and throws light at every angle with extraordinary brilliance. The concave construction is a particularly clever piece of design, drawing the eye inward and amplifying the scintillation of the stones. The gallery to the reverse is engraved with a decorative pattern, a refinement that speaks to the quality of the original making. Estimated total diamond weight of approximately 5 carats, F–H colour and VS1/VS2 clarity.

An unapologetically glamorous ring — a piece that was made to be worn and noticed, and that has lost none of its power to do so.
