Baubles, Bling and Uneven Things
Boom! This word is often used to describe a post-war period. At the end of WWII, the American economy was thriving. In fact, the years between 1945-1960 would later become known as the “Golden Age of Capitalism”. It was a time marked by economic prosperity. Unemployment was low and wages were high. Americans had money to spend on everything from houses in suburbia to fine jewelry.
In the midst of televisions, fast food restaurants and family cars, there were also strands of pearls and cocktail rings. The style of the 1950’s was more refined than the previous Retro era. Bracelets and button earrings were staples for day wear while diamond jewelry was all the rage for evening.
This asymmetrical beauty showcases all the earmarks of the period. Made from crisp 14-karat white gold, the off-kilter appearance encompasses a pierced motif accented by a milgrain border. Resembling a sophisticated spoon ring, the tapered band wraps around the finger, juxtaposing the narrow high-polish plain side with the wide diamond accentuated side.
The ideal adornment for the feminine, curvaceous fashion of the fabulous 1950’s – this ring dazzles at every turn. Sixteen diamonds that include both round brilliant and single cut decorate the widest portion of the ring. With a combined weight of .50 carat, this charmer was almost certainly saved for evening wear – however, times have changed. Today, the ring could easily adapt to daily wear. The price is almost as attractive as the ring… hop over to our website and make it yours for only $975.00.
