Art Deco / Mid Century 18ct And Platinum Turquoise Diamond Ring by ‘Catanachs’
Sold Out
Impeccable and early piece by renowned jewellery firm Catanachs.
Dating to the Art Deco era to perhaps a little later the fine craftsmanship displayed in this ring is breathtaking.
Featuring a large natural green Turquoise cabochon to the centre set in Platinum with micro millgrain edging to a halo of 26 single cut diamonds which are bright, white and sparkly and also set in Platinum.
The basket gallery is superb. Crafted from 18ct yellow gold, open work ornate piercing work so very finely and expertly crafted, to the then upswept square shoulders which flow to a half round comfortable shank.
In pristine condition for its age this beauty was either cared for with love or stored away and rarely worn on the finger, which is a shame as a ring of this quality and beauty deserves to be seen.
For the collector or passionate Australian jewellery collector this one is a must!
