A lovely Art Deco 18ct gold ring with a platinum top.It is set with four well matched bright white diamonds with French cut sapphires around them. The platinum has a millgrain decoration around the stones. The meaning of "Millgrain" is a "thousand beads" from the French word. It is the small bumps that you see above on the side of the diamonds and sapphires. The millgrain can be done in two ways. Either it can be hand beaded by a diamond setter or hand engraver, or it can be put on by a millgrain machine. This is an added detail that makes the ring special. It sits low on the finger and would be ideal as an engagement ring.}

A very stylish 18ct white gold Art Deco ring that was most likely made in Switzerland. It is set with a good twenty five point diamond in the centre. It is surrounded by synthetic sapphires which in turn have a border of small diamonds. I am fascinated by synthetic stones as the process is brilliant and complex. The Parisian chemist Auguste Verneuil collaborated with Fremy on developing the method, but soon went on to independently develop the flame fusion process, which would eventually come to bear his name. In 1909, Vernueil realised that synthetic sapphires could be created with the addition of iron and titanium and in 1911, he and his employer, the Heller Company, were given two patents for this discovery. So this beautifully made ring is set with wonderful and very convincing synthetic sapphires. These stones were widely used in the 1920s especially in Europe between the wars. What a beautiful engagement ring this would be for the price!}

An unusual 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1910-1920. It is set with a diamond shaped pink sapphire that is surrounded by well matched white diamonds. Pink sapphires are made up of the mineral corundum that is coloured by trace elements of chromium. This is how they get their beautiful colour. If the chromium content is high then you get a deeper red colour, which in turn makes the stone a ruby. There is a diamond set in to each shoulder. It would make a lovely engagement or dress ring.}
