Art Deco Diamond and Sapphire X Ring
This striking Art Deco ring is a masterclass in 1920s geometric elegance. Crafted in 14k yellow gold with silver-topped detail, it features a raised openwork gallery crowned with three sparkling Old European Cut diamonds. Boldly intersecting lines of French-cut synthetic sapphires form a stylized "X" motif—one of the patterns of the era. The central panel is flanked by shimmering rose-cut diamonds and accented with single-cut stones at the shoulders, adding depth and sparkle to the design. A fine piece of early 20th-century Austrian craftsmanship.
