About the Item

This 14k gold Art Deco harem ring is made up of five 14k gold bands held together in a half-hoop that connects the bands and has "diamond", "ruby", and "sapphire" paste stones set in a horizontal setting, with the diamonds set in silver (the cool tones of diamonds look best against silver). Paste is a gem substitute that was developed in the Middle ages, perfected after the Renaissance and popularized during the Georgian era, and its popularity continued through the Deco period. After that, paste faded from use and its precise formula has been lost. It is known to be leaded glass but the proper proportions of ingredients and the proper carving technique are no longer known or too difficult to do cost effectively. The paste stones are bezel set in a tulip bezel, with the exception of the diamonds, which are beadset into the band. The bands and bezels are 14k gold. The silver has an excellent patina that offsets the stones against the silver tarnish. The first harem rings were worn as wedding bands in Turkey, but gained popularity in the West in the 19th century. They typically have 3-5 connected bands with a repeating placement of gemstones. The ring is unmarked and tests as 14k gold and weighs 4.87 grams.
