Mid-Century Solid 14k Yellow Gold .45ct Natural VS Diamond Rub Over Gypsy Ring (10)

The most sought after style classic ring whether a serious jewelry collector or those just getting into the game. Known as a “rub over” for the old world era technique used to set the stone. A jeweler uses a burnishing tool to push a thin rim of the surrounding metal over the edges of the gemstone, holding it tightly in place. This is one of the most secure settings for a gemstone because the metal protects the edges from chips and snags. It is also very comfortable for everyday wear because there are no sharp edges. This piece was hand crafted sometime around the 1950’s out of a solid and buttery 14k yellow gold. Precisely set with a transitional cut natural diamond of approximately .45ct of VS clarity and excellent color. A size:10 on the mandrel with a chunky rounded width of 9.5mm at its widest bulge this fully solid backed ring of 9.3g is insanely comfortable as it starts to taper down slightly towards the bottom of the rounded donut style band.
