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

♥Sold♥

The term “the full monty” it a British colloquialism meaning “the works”, kind of like the American term “the whole kit and caboodle” (although the phrase was kinda hijacked by a movie from the late 1990s about getting naked). Naked or no, this ring really is The Bomb: an electric sparkle bomb ✨

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 to late 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.

Manufacture:
Handmade in 18ct white gold, unmarked but verified as 18ct by XRF test. The 35 brilliant cut diamonds measure 2mm diameter and are bead set into the ring. The table of the diamonds sits flush with the white gold sides of the ring, which have been finished with milgrain edging. The diamonds have a combined carat weight of .70 They have been graded by an independent gemologist as Vs – Si1 in clarity, F-G in colour. Fine, white clean sparkly diamonds.
