The Full Monty : Mid-Century Handmade Diamond Eternity Ring in 18ct White Gold

A perfectly balanced, handmade eternity ring in 18ct white gold with 35 high quality brilliant cut diamonds hand set and finished with delicate milgrain edges. This style of ring transcends time periods – first becoming popular in the Art Deco period and remaining sought after ever since. Modern interpretations of this classic rarely demonstrate the level of craftsmanship that has gone into this exceptional ring. I believe this ring dates from the mid 20th century, circa 1950 -1960’s due to the cut of the diamonds, the handmade detail, streamlined proportions and the precision of the work. There are no hallmarks to provide clues. so this is an educated guess.
