Vintage Yellow Gold and Diamond Butterfly Motif Brutalist Ring
This is a highly decorative yellow gold cocktail ring featuring a stylized, abstract butterfly or floral motif, presented within a 'Jared' branded black jewelry box. The ring showcases a distinctive Brutalist or organic aesthetic, characterized by an irregular, textured metal surface that evokes molten or cast natural forms. Centrally located on the ring face is a cluster of round brilliant-cut diamonds, with additional smaller diamonds interspersed across the textured gold wings or petals, creating a brilliant light-catching effect. The metal appears to be at least 14k or 18k yellow gold, though internal hallmarking is not visible in the photograph. The construction is heavy and sculptural, suggesting a Mid-Century Modern or late 20th-century design period (circa 1960s-1970s). The condition appears to be very good with no visible missing stones; the gold maintains a rich, warm patina with expected minor surface micro-scratches from light wear. The craftsmanship is high, utilizing individual prong settings for the accent diamonds to maximize brilliance against the jagged gold background.
