Antique "Target" Ring with a Diamond & Natural Pearls in Platinum, c. 1915

Is it a small target that invites us to shoot an arrow of love in its direction? The ring face of this ring is shaped just like one—with a beautiful old-cut diamond at its center. Rings of this type are indeed called “target rings” in the English-speaking world, and they remind us of Cupid’s arrows. A beautiful, sparkling old-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.14 ct takes center stage here, and a concentric circle of small natural pearls surrounds the large center stone. The ring face and shoulders are crafted from platinum, while the band itself is forged from 18-karat gold. As a result, the ring shines white on the outside, perfectly in keeping with the tastes of the era in which it was created. Refined and modern in its details, yet understated in size, the ring can once again be used as an engagement ring more than 110 years after it was created. We acquired this beautiful ring in London.
