Bearing full British hallmarks for 1978 this chunky 9ct yellow gold gents ring is an impressive and modern variation on a classic Belcher style ring.
Featuring a flush setting with the claws cut into the mount, a glowing red-orange carnelian gemstone nestles inside the recessed front secured by the carved-out claws. Grooved shoulders lead to fairly wide band at the back and it towers high off the finger with a domed bullet profile.
A handsome masculine piece, it's a classic 1970s showboating ring that will get you noticed!
In good condition with moderate surface wear like scratches and tiny dings that you might expect in a gents 50 year old gold ring that has been worn. There's a lot of gold in this ring that hasn't worn thin so there is plenty of life left in it still. Please see the photos.
