Providing exceptional presence and unmistakable 1970s glamour, this spectacular vintage cocktail ring is crafted in rich, buttery 14ct yellow gold and showcases a striking cluster of six perfectly matched cultured saltwater pearls.
Each pearl measures approximately 6.75mm in diameter and displays a luminous creamy white tone with beautiful high lustre. Arranged in a bold floral formation, the pearls are dramatically elevated in a high domed “mountain” cluster and set in sculptural gold petals, creating superb dimension and light reflection.
The profile is substantial, rising approximately 15mm from the finger, giving the ring remarkable finger coverage and that unmistakable jet-set cocktail aesthetic of the era. The underside is equally impressive, featuring an ornate open basket under-gallery with decorative gold scrollwork — a hallmark of quality mid-century craftsmanship. A thick D-shaped band provides both comfort and structural integrity.
This ring comes complete with its original 1970s blue velvet clamshell presentation box — a charming addition that enhances its collectability.
Bold, glamorous and undeniably statement-making, this is a true era piece evocative of cocktail parties, evening soirées and effortless vintage luxury.
