DATE: Art Deco, 1930

A spectacular Art Deco flower cluster ring modelled around a gorgeous natural blue sapphire that weighs a shade under 9 carats. The principal stone displays a deep, rich blue colour, set within a fine millegrain bezel and perfectly complemented by the array of diamond 'petals' that form the cluster border. The head is positioned surprisingly flush against the finger, and features pretty triangular detailing to the pierced gallery. Crafted in platinum throughout with Parisian import marks indicating it was retailed in France (likely made in England). Circa 1930.
