1922 Art Deco Diamond & Gold Ring

A stunning early 20th century 18ct gold old-cut diamond band ring, with hallmarks for Birmingham, 1922. This ring is a true testament to the glitz and grandeur of the Art Deco era, while retaining the classic grace and elegance of a bygone era.
 
Featuring a chunky band in gleaming 18ct gold, the central dazzling diamond is set flush into the bend with a hand-carved sunburst design. Created with wearability in mind, this design allows the diamond to glitter brilliantly in the light, without the risk of being knocked from it’s setting.
 
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ begins in the year 1922, just four years after the Great War, and charts the story of the inimitable self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby and his passionate rekindling of the lost love of his youth; Daisy Buchanan. It is not hard to imagine this ring on the finger of one of Fitzgerald’s colourful and beloved characters.
 
“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther..” 
 
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby."
