Set with a glittering array of antique circular-cut diamonds, this plaque ring is an Art Deco take on the classic ‘navette’ ring, with its elegantly tapering shape designed to elongate the finger. This beautiful example is divided into geometric openwork, with stippled millegrain borders giving it a touch of lightness. Behind the icy platinum façade, the gold setting is beautifully hand-pierced, the apertures for each diamond beautifully hand-cut. A truly beautiful Art Deco ring, holding centre stage when worn alone.
