Vintage Diamond Cluster Ring

This is a vintage cluster ring, likely crafted from 750 gold, as suggested by the context, indicating 18-karat gold. The ring features a central, presumably round brilliant cut diamond housed within an octagonal or hexagonal bezel setting made of white metal, possibly white gold or platinum, creating a contrasting two-tone effect with the warmer yellow/rose gold of the rest of the setting. The central diamond appears to be approximately 3-4 mm in diameter. Surrounding the central stone, the white metal forms a decorative cluster, characterized by architectural, geometric lines and relief work, suggesting an Art Deco or Retro era influence (circa 1920s-1950s). This white metal superstructure is then mounted on a fluted or carved yellow/rose gold base, with petal-like or fan-shaped elements that fan out from beneath the central cluster, creating a floral or stylized sunburst appearance. The shoulders of the ring are also yellow/rose gold and feature a textured or engraved surface, possibly with smaller diamonds or decorative filigree, though these details are less clear. The overall construction appears solid and well-crafted, indicative of quality jewelry production from its period. Visible condition issues include a light patina consistent with age and occasional surface wear or minor scratches on the metal, particularly on the relief patterns, which is to be expected for a vintage piece. No obvious major damage, repairs, or missing stones are discernible from the provided images, although a thorough inspection would be required to confirm this. The ring's design is intricate and showcases a blend of geometric precision with organic forms, a common characteristic of vintage aesthetics.
