18K Yellow Gold Lapis Lazuli and Diamond Modernist Ring

About the Item

A geometric design ring from the 1970's centered around a deep blue lapis lazuli slab. The square cut lapis is flanked by two rows of round brilliant cut diamonds on either side. The combined weight of the 18 diamonds is approximately 0.75ct of overall G/H color and VS2/VS1 clarity. The walls of the ring provide elevation above the finger. The diamond sections are angled away from the center which not only make the ring more comfortable to wear, but also increase their brilliant appearance. This modernist masterpiece has a design area measuring 7/8 of an inch wide by 9/16 of an inch high and sits 1/4 of an inch above the finger. This gorgeous ring is a size 5 1/2. Likely a custom piece, it is absent of any stamps, but has been thoroughly tested, and is 18K gold. Gross weight 17.5 grams.
