About the Item
Step into the bold elegance of the Retro Era with this striking 18k rose gold ring, crafted circa 1940. At its heart lies a captivating approx 8.40-carat cushion-cut amethyst, rich in purple saturation and commanding in presence. The center stone is gracefully framed by a symmetrical, petal-like motif on the east and west sides, offering a soft yet structured contrast that enhances the stone’s vivid color. This thoughtful design element echoes the era’s fascination with bold femininity and stylized natural forms.
The ring’s shoulders feature a distinctive tiered architecture, a subtle nod to the stepped motifs that defined Retro design language. This layering not only adds visual depth but also guides the eye upward toward the dramatic centerpiece. The high-polished gold, warm and rosy in hue, lends the piece a luminous quality that flatters the skin and evokes a sense of romantic nostalgia. Every detail of this handcrafted piece speaks to the precision and artistic flair of its time, a true testament to mid-20th century craftsmanship.
One of the most captivating aspects of this ring is how unapologetically Retro it is—bold, sculptural, and full of character. The oversized amethyst is not just a gem but a statement, embodying the era’s penchant for glamour and expressive design. Its substantial size and vibrant hue make it a coveted find among collectors and enthusiasts alike, the kind of piece that sparks conversations and turns heads. This is not merely jewelry; it’s wearable art that honors a golden age of design.
Currently sized at 6.75, this ring can be resized to fit any finger at no additional cost. Whether you’re a passionate collector or someone drawn to unique, storied pieces, this ring offers an exceptional opportunity to own a rare and radiant example of Retro Era design.
