Vintage Target Ring with Pearl and Diamonds in White Gold, London 1986

Is it a small target inviting us to shoot a love arrow in its direction? The ring face of this ring is round like one, with a shimmering pearl in the center. Rings of this type are actually called "target rings" in English-speaking countries and make us think of Cupid's arrows. A beautiful saltwater cultured pearl with a melting lustre is the fitting centerpiece here, as the pearl has long been considered an attribute of Venus, the goddess of love. Two concentric circles of 28 further brilliant-cut diamonds surround the large sea treasure. Fine star-shaped perforations further enhance the setting with effective shadow effects. The floral openwork undercuts raise the round showpiece above the finger and a simple ring band completes the piece of jewelry. The ring is made from high-carat white gold. According to the hallmark, it was made in the English capital of London in 1986. It is presumably a cast of an antique piece from the early 20th century, as the 1980s were infatuated with antiques. The ring is a detailed, successful symbiosis of old and new. It came to us from the north of England.
