Book Your AppointmentArt Deco 18ct Gold & Platinum, Cabochon Sapphire & Diamond Cluster Ring by Bailey Banks & Biddle
№ 296S
Rare Find
A stunning 18ct gold and platinum ring made by the famous American jewellers Bailey Banks & Biddle. Bailey & Kitchen, as it was originally known, was founded at 136 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, on September 20, 1832, by Joseph Trowbridge Bailey and Andrew B. Kitchen. The partnership was dissolved in November 1846. It was reformed with new partners as Bailey & Co. in 1841, and on March 1, 1878, again re-established as Bailey Banks & Biddle.
At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States. Its design today remains the official version of the seal. The jewellery they produced was of the highest quality as is seen in this ring. It has been set with a cabochon sapphire that is most likely of Burma origin. It is surrounded by small diamonds, with a further band of diamonds around the outer edge with loops to both sides set in platinum with millgrain detail. It curves around the finger beautifully and is comfortable to wear. It was made circa 1920.
A wonderful ring!

Excellent experience from start to finish, I didn't have a clue what I was doing when looking at engagement rings but was very happy with my purchase. And it seemed to do the trick as she happily said yes :)
The engagement ring we bought from the AJC was perfect, and the service provided was very friendly and attentive. I haven't got anything bad to say!
Service was unbeatable - worked to an extremely tight time scale and dedivvered without a hitch. The ring is perfect and I'm proud to see it on the hand of my fiancé. You guys have made us both very happy!
