A masterclass in geometric Art Deco design. This original 1930s estate ring features a glistening, hand-faceted Old European cut diamond nestled securely within an octagonal illusion frame. The central diamond is beautifully bordered by four synthetic french-cut / calibre-cut deep blue sapphires arranged in a striking compass presentation, a hallmark color contrast highly prized in the Art Deco era.
The architectural setting is crafted in crisp 18k white gold, accented at the corners by pyramid-engraved motifs that catch the light beautifully. The romance continues down the shank, featuring delicate milgrain borders and a rare, openwork infinity-loop split shoulder with hand-engraved wheat detailing.

The Art Deco Diamond & Sapphire Era
During the 1920s and 30s, master jewelers loved pairing the fire of antique hand-cut diamonds with the structural geometry of calibre-cut sapphires. This contrasting look defined high-society glamour. Finding an original piece in 18k white gold that preserves both the vibrant stone contrast and the intricate, hand-engraved side profiles makes this a phenomenal choice for a vintage bride or an estate collector.
