Vintage 9ct Gold and Green Spinel 1960s Cocktail Ring Size K
A beguiling piece of mid-century elegance, this vintage ring (hallmarked in Birmingham in 1960) showcases the refined craftsmanship and design sensibility characteristic of the era. Fashioned in 9ct gold, the ring’s gallery features intricate openwork filigree, evoking the delicate tracery of Gothic windows or the elegant geometry of Art Deco revival styling that flourished during the post-war years.
At its heart lies a richly-hued emerald-cut green spinel, captivating in its depth and clarity, with a shifting verdant hue that recalls forest glades and Edwardian greenhouses alike. The stone is beautifully set in a secure four-claw mount, allowing the light to play gracefully through each crisp facet.
Though emeralds have long been celebrated, the green spinel offers a compelling alternative. This lesser-known gem possesses a brilliance and fire all its own, at a fraction of the cost, making it a desirable choice for those who seek distinction beyond the ordinary.
A perfect choice for lovers of unusual stones, collectors of fine vintage jewellery, or those drawn to the refined beauty of post-war British design. Whether worn as a cocktail ring or a statement piece for every day, it is both a conversation starter and a quiet treasure.
