*This Ring Can Be Resized.
This ring is the epitome of French design and modern elegance.
The Retro Era encompasses the time period from the late 1930s until the 1950s. A lot happened during this time, especially in France, an important jewelry hub. French Retro was similar to the rest of the jewelry world with some key differences. French designers of the time combined the drama and opulence of the past with an eye towards the future. This ring marries geometric motifs of the Art Deco Era with the clean simplicity of the Modern Era on the horizon. Add a dash of bold glamor and you’ve got a perfect Retro piece.
In addition, France was (and is!) a prime destination for high fashion. The best jewelry houses - think Cartier and Boucheron - influenced all things fashion, which contributed to the beauty and innovation of Retro jewelry. That is likely why French Retro jewels boast excellent craftsmanship and elegant timelessness.
This quintessential Retro piece is lavish and bold with a chunk-tastic .90 old mine cut diamond taking center stage. As they say in France to underscore the importance of finishing touches - C’est la touche finale!
