The baguette — a rectangular step-cut with long, open facets — produces a clean, architectural line of light; the brilliant cut, with its 57 or 58 facets optimised for maximum sparkle, produces a very different quality of brilliance. Set side by side, the two cuts create a ring that is at once structured and scintillating, the calm geometry of the baguettes anchoring the fire of the brilliants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 5.7 carats total diamond weight and 1.1cm wide, this is a ring of considerable presence — broad enough to make a statement across the finger without overwhelming the hand. The mount is 18ct yellow gold, the warmth of the metal providing a rich ground for the diamonds. Circa 1980–90, a period when bold, high-diamond-weight dress rings of this kind were at the height of fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarked 18ct gold.
