1.7 Carat Art Deco Sapphire and Diamond Platinum Ring, Antique Pompadour Daisy Ring c. 1910

This exquisite early 1900s French ring features a sapphire, set in a halo of ten old mine cut diamonds accented by two brilliant cuts on each raised shoulder. The sapphire boasts a deep blue hue, beautifully complemented by the bright, chunky glitter of the diamonds, which collectively weigh approximately 1.7 carats. The sapphire measures approximately 9 x 6 mm while the diamonds rang in size between 3.1-3.3 mm each for the halo and 1.5 mm for the shoulders.

The ring showcases a classic French design with its halo setting, raised shoulders and diamonds set in platinum. This element was typical of the period to help reflect the light around the diamonds and enhance their brilliance. Atypically, white gold prongs reach up to cradle the center of the stones, making for a very pretty contrast.This style is very popular in France, where sapphires are perceived as a subtle and chic choice. The ring, found at a reputable estate seller in Paris, bears hallmarks for 18k gold and has been tested for platinum. The ring face measures 15 mm by 12.8 mm, with a height of 6 mm off the finger.

CONDITION NOTES:
The ring is in excellent antique condition with very light wear to the facets visible under magnification. The sapphire is a deep blue and shines very beautifully in the light. The diamonds are in excellent condition with no wear to the facets. The ring has not visibly been resized.
