A beautifully matched vintage ring set in 18ct rose gold, dating to circa 1950–60. The set comprises a brilliant cut diamond solitaire of approximately 0.5 carats (G/H colour, VS1/VS2 clarity) paired with a complementary diamond jacket whose brilliant cut diamonds of approximately 0.4 carats (G/H, VS1/VS2) are arranged in an elegant marquise outline — the jacket designed to sit flush around the solitaire, transforming it into a diamond cluster of 0.9 carats in total. The two pieces work equally well worn together as a cluster or separately as a solitaire and a standalone diamond band. Set in 18ct rose gold throughout, the warm tone of the metal flattering both the diamonds and the vintage aesthetic of the design.

A matched vintage diamond solitaire and jacket set of this quality — 0.9 carats of G/H VS diamonds in 18ct rose gold — offers exceptional versatility and a combined diamond weight that would cost considerably more in a modern equivalent.
