Large, authentic signet-style ring from around 1940, featuring diamonds

Descriptio 18-karat yellow gold, platinum accents, two faceted square-cut rubies, and nine old-cut brilliant-cut natural diamonds. Front measures 2.5 cm; Tatum 14 (54); diameter 17.3 mm. This retro-style chevalier ring features a pronounced geometric tank-like volume, articulated by a raised front adorned with two square-cut rubies. Nine old-cut brilliant-cut white diamonds complete the composition, distributed two on each side and five in the central band. The 18-karat yellow gold setting incorporates platinum accents and meticulously chased floral scrollwork on the sides, while the polished band balances the ornamental richness of the front. Its robust structure, the symmetry of the gems, and the architectural character of the design reflect the jewelry aesthetic of 1939–1940. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
