This 18-karat yellow gold (750/1000) ring features an elegant floral shape, typical of post-war designs. Its domed setting evokes a blossoming flower, whose wavy petals are finely engraved with radiating gadroons. In the center, nine round-cut red stones, probably synthetic rubies, are arranged in a cluster, enhanced by a polished gold prong setting.
The contrast between the mirror-like polish of the gold and the striated texture of the petals gives the piece an attractive play of light. The ring is finely crafted with a slight curve, making it comfortable to wear.
Period
This ring most likely dates from the 1950s to 1960s, a period when jewelry adopted generous shapes inspired by nature, while incorporating synthetic stones that were highly prized in the post-war period for their affordability.
Style
The style is decidedly retro, influenced by floral motifs and generous volumes. The use of synthetic rubies is characteristic of fashion jewelry from this period, often given as alternative engagement rings or cocktail jewelry. It perfectly illustrates the optimistic and decorative aesthetic of the Glorious Thirties, when yellow gold regained its central place.
