Elegance in Geometry: The Captivating Fifties Art Deco Diamond Ring

This exquisite vintage Fifties ring, inspired by the bold geometric shapes of Art Deco, presents a harmonious blend of elegance and distinctive style. Crafted circa 1950, it features a unique, stylized design that is both striking and pleasantly wearable, not protruding awkwardly when adorned. The centerpiece is a set of five baguette cut diamonds, weighing approximately 1.00ct, complemented by sixteen additional diamonds, culminating in a total weight of around 1.48 ct. This piece embodies an era's artistic vision, offering a glimpse into the luxurious past.

Extra information: Diamond is the birthstone for the month of April, and besides being the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, it is also the anniversary gem for the 10th and 60th years of marriage.

Even though the diamond is the hardest of all gemstones known to man, it is the simplest in composition: it is common carbon. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to earth. It was even said by some that they were the tears of the Gods or perhaps crystallized lightning or hardened dew drops. The exact origin of diamonds remained something of a mystery for centuries.

In ancient times only kings wore diamonds as a symbol of strength, courage and invincibility. Over the centuries, the diamond acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love. It was said that Cupid's arrows were tipped with diamonds which have a magic that nothing else can ever quite equal.

But it wasn't until 1477, when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began. Even the reason a woman wears it on the third finger of her left hand dates back to the early Egyptian belief that the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the top of the third finger, left hand.
