Art Deco Aquamarine Platinum Bypass Ring

About the Item

This Art Deco Platinum Bypass Ring features 2 focal European Pear cut Natural Aquamarines totaling 1.41 carats, each securely set in four doubled prongs.

The Bypass design in jewelry dates back to the Victorian era and was perfected in the Art Deco era as far as durability and symmetry. Bypass rings were also favored by many prominent figures, namely Jacqueline Kennedy, although this particular ring is a bit of a larger scale than hers. Most were made in Yellow Gold up until the 1950s when goldsmiths started using White Gold. Furthermore, less than 20% were done in Platinum, like this one – At this time in the 1940s, following WWII, very few pieces were constructed in Platinum: the purest white, noble metal revealing true Gem colors, in this case the extremely bright White Diamonds & the crystal clear sky Blue Aquamarines. Today, bypass rings contain a minimal amount of stones, some containing only 5 stones or less, as opposed to this period, heavily jeweled Bypass. The timeless world-renowned bypass design is more prominent today than ever, prized by both Americans and Europeans. Why not own a classic bypass from the true Art Deco period?
