About the Item
Mid-Century Diamond Ballerina Cocktail Ring in Platinum, 1950s–1960s. An extraordinary expression of Mid-Century theatricality, this sculptural ballerina cocktail ring is a tour de force in platinum and diamond. Designed with remarkable volume and architectural poise, the ring evokes the elegance of a pirouetting ballerina — every facet alive with movement and light.
At the center, a shimmering round brilliant-cut diamond of approx. 1.23ct radiates brilliance, encircled by a dramatic halo of marquise-cut diamonds that form a floral corona, fluid and luminous. Surrounding this, a fluted outer skirt of 30 baguette-cut diamonds, along with two accent marquises at the shoulders, completes the illusion of a spinning tutu — airy, graceful, and precise.
This masterfully constructed composition sits atop an open gallery and commanding split shank, lending vertical drama while ensuring balanced wear. Stamped with a Lisbon platinum hallmark (used 1938–1984), the ring exemplifies European craftsmanship of the highest order.
Why We Love It
A triumph of design and drama, this ballerina ring doesn’t whisper — it dances. Bold, sculptural, and radiantly feminine, it embodies the glamour of the cocktail era and the precision of fine European atelier work. Perfect for those who believe jewelry should perform.
