Vintage Australian 18ct Gold And Palladium ‘Cherry Blossom’ Band Circa 1935-40’s
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
This vintage Australian band is a charming treasure from the late 1930s to 1940s, blending history, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty into one elegant piece.
Handcrafted in 18 karat yellow gold and Palladium, it features a delicate motif of tiny cherry blossoms in Palladium, accented with subtle X-shaped details that lend both charm and character to the design.
During the World War II era, Platinum was reserved for the war effort, and Palladium—one of the noble metals—emerged as a refined and enduring alternative. First introduced into jewellery around 1939, Palladium quickly became prized for its strength, rarity, and lasting brilliance.
Unlike other white metals, it is hypoallergenic and naturally resists tarnish, ensuring it remains luminous and white forever.
The ring’s design is both sweet and subtle, with the cherry blossom motif symbolising renewal and beauty, while the X-shaped patterns add rhythm and texture. The dual-tone blend of warm yellow gold and cool white Palladium makes this band wonderfully versatile—it pairs effortlessly with both yellow and white gold jewellery. Its slim, graceful profile also makes it an excellent stacking band, perfect for layering with other rings or wearing as a standalone statement of understated elegance.
More than just a ring, this is a piece of history captured in precious metal. Its origins in the 1935–1940s period, combined with the rarity of Palladium use at the time, make it a meaningful jewel for collectors and romantics alike. Durable, symbolic, and beautifully crafted, it is a band that bridges past and present with quiet sophistication.
