Ring - 18 kt. Yellow gold - 0.40ct. tw. Diamond (Natural)

Yellow gold tank ring, the ring is set with 8 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling ca. 0.40 ct. The diamonds are set in white gold open prong settings. Tank rings were popular between 1935 and 1950, during and after World War II. From this conflict arose this ring, which symbolized the 1940s. Gold and precious stones were scarce, or even completely absent, on the jewelry market. Therefore it was more practical to melt the found gold into a ring, making it easier to transport. From this arose the voluminous tank ring, recognizable by its Art Deco style. With its extensive geometric lines, numerous patterns and gemstones, it is a piece of jewelry that does not go unnoticed. The name refers to the tanks used during the war. This explains the impressive size and the very structured appearance. Centerpiece dimension: ca. 11.8 mm.
