Natural saltwater pearl and diamond ring, early 20th century. This cluster ring is set with a natural pearl of excellent quality, regular in shape, and displaying an ideal smooth and lustrous nacre surface. Diamonds and pearls were overwhelmingly the most popular combination of jewels in the Belle Époque (circa 1900-1914), the delicate glow of the pearl’s surface perfectly offsetting the bright gleam of the diamond facets. This cluster ring perfectly embodies this delicate and refined aesthetic in a wearable and timeless jewel, perfect for a special occasion.
