A spectacular mid century modernist diamond ring in 18K white gold by the famous jewelry brand the Swiss maker Piaget.
This artistic asymmetrical design is so typical of mid century European high jewelry. The whole setting reminds me of a beehive and right at the center sits an exceptionally white sparkling diamond set in a concave setting with a mirror like polish. The diamond is reflected across the whole surface of the setting.
The central diamond is an entirely colorless D/E/F SI2 0.90 carat pear cut and is securely claw set. It measures 7.80 x 5.40 x 3.33 mm and the cut quality is excellent. The setting itself runs 11/16" along the finger and rises 1/4" high (17.5 x 6.0 mm) and is solid 18K white gold.
This is a spectacular ring in a statement style, an heirloom quality piece by a famous high jeweler and dates to the 60s or 70s.
Inside the shank it is signed Piaget and stamped 18K meaning solid 18K white gold, this confirmed by testing. It weighs 14 grams.
It is in good vintage condition and is a size 7 3/4 US.
I just love the impact this Piaget piece. It feels wonderful on the finger and is sure to be admired!

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
