An absolute showstopper this striking 18ct gold diamond solitaire ring is hallmarked for 1971 and is iconic of that glamorous era of jet-setting and cocktail parties.
With a weight of 5.4 grams there is a lot of real estate in this ring and it provides impressive finger coverage. It is white gold at the front with a yellow gold band. The super sparkly 0.25ct (1/4 carat) diamond nestles in a star cut setting surrounded in a halo of buttercup style petals. The bright-cut star setting highlights the beautiful bright white diamond and gives the illusion of a significantly larger gemstone.
The sides of the ring are decorated in lovely oval shaped petal motifs studded in white gold milgrain beads which adds even more to the incredible sparkle and to finish a thick chunky gold band completes her statement style.
Not for the faint of finger this is a showy diamond solitaire ring on a grand scale. If you love big bold retro cocktail jewellery this may be the one for you, fantastic as an engagement ring too, all eyes will be drawn to her!
