Very unusual vintage platinum diamond ring, set with a lovely baguette cut diamond of approximately 0.95ct. Two further baguette cut diamonds for a total of approximately 1.25ct.
The centre stone is a baguette cut diamond of approximately 0.95 carats — a substantial stone for this cut, which is more commonly encountered in smaller sizes as a shoulder or accent stone rather than as a centre piece in its own right. A baguette of this size has a long, open table that displays the stone's clarity and colour with complete transparency — there is nowhere to hide in a step cut, which makes a clean, bright stone of this size genuinely impressive. To each side sits a further baguette diamond, the three stones sitting flush in a continuous horizontal setting that gives the ring its distinctive linear character. Total diamond weight is approximately 1.25 carats.
The all-baguette three-stone ring is an unusual choice that places this firmly outside the mainstream — most three-stone rings use round brilliant cuts, and the decision to use baguettes throughout gives this ring a graphic, architectural quality that suits the 1950s period of its manufacture. Step cuts were at the height of their popularity in the post-war decades, when the clean lines of modernist design influenced jewellery as much as architecture and furniture.
The mount is platinum throughout, tested and confirmed, though unmarked — not uncommon for pieces of this period. Slim and well-proportioned at 6mm top to bottom, it sits elegantly on the finger without bulk.
