18K gold emerald and diamond French cocktail tank ring

About the Item

For sale a beautiful French made, 18K gold tank ring, which transports you to the glamorous era of the 1940s. This chic ring encapsulates the essence of an eternity motif, accentuated by two resplendent emeralds framed by a series of captivating rose-cut diamonds. The emeralds, each weight approximately 0.25 carats, radiating a mesmerizing, vivid green hue that captivates the beholder. The diamond frame, meticulously designed in the rose-cut style, elegantly encircles the emeralds, offering a stark contrast with its brilliant white sparkle against the vibrant green of the emeralds. The name "Tank Ring" pays homage to the post-war period and its transformative influence on jewelry design. In the wake of World War II, jewelry styles shifted to accommodate the changing roles of women. The name draws its inspiration from the resilient spirit of the times, symbolizing the women who adopted a more assertive, powerful, and masculine style – tailored suits and military-inspired attire – as they took on significant roles in industries, commerce, and offices, filling the positions vacated by men at war. As a historical artifact, this ring serves as a testament to the increasing empowerment of women during and after World War II. It stands not only as a magnificent piece of jewelry but also as a symbol of the indomitable strength and influence of women in a time of transformation. The ring is resizable at buyer’s cost, please contact us before you pass your order. Measurements and Condition In overall good antique condition. Slight traces of use, scratches and inclusions in the stones. French owl hallmark (partially erased with time) for 18K gold on the shank Resizable with a current size of EU/FR 47—US 4—UK H Weight: 5.1g

    For sale a typical tank ring from the 1940s, marked by its massive use of 18K yellow gold, geometric motifs combined with a line of 6 rose cut diamonds closely set in the middle of two lines of purplish red rubies cut in baguettes.The quality of the workmanship is very good: the lines are clean and straight; the angles on each side are equal; and the design is well balanced. The diamond weights circa 0.4ct in total. The rubies are probably synthetic like many rubies used in the jewelry of this type. For the second time in the century, the outbreak of war changed again the style of the jewelry making in the 1940s. Bold, massive jewels were made to suit the outlook of the women during the war: masculine, well-tailored suits of military inspirations since women took up the jobs left vacant by men, whether in industry, in commerce or in offices. This ring is also a historical piece as a prove of the increasing women’s power...
