Antique unisex ring with 0.80 ct old-cut diamond in white gold, circa 1925

Of course, a good wardrobe always includes a beautiful piece of jewellery. However, as most pieces of jewellery are reserved for women - often to the chagrin of those men who like it shiny and sparkly - we are particularly pleased to be able to present a ring that can also be worn by men and whose elegant yet understated design immediately won us over. The rhodium-plated gold ring holds an old European cut diamond in its center. The stone weighs around 0.80 ct and shines in a bright white. A lively inclusion pattern makes it individual and recognizable. However, it does not dampen its brilliance, making it a magnificent sight. The simple design with the solid rail that rises to the ring face is powerful and shows a love of Art Deco geometry. At the same time, it is free of any small-scale or historical ornamentation. This is certainly one of the reasons why the ring still looks so modern and fresh today. The ring was created around 1925 and contemporary jewelry catalogs show comparable designs with an octagonal setting and simple rail. For example, a page with men's rings from the 1925 catalog of the Chicago-based jewellers S. Kind & Sons (see last illustration).
