ABOUT THIS RING

A beautifully proportioned emerald-cut citrine, weighing 9.50 carats, casts a truly gorgeous golden honey amber-colored glow between a pair of sparkling white European-cut diamonds, in this classic cocktail ring dating from the 1940s. How do we know for sure? Because, instead of platinum, the diamond settings are made of palladium--a look-alike cousin of platinum, which was required as a strategic metal during the WWII years (thus palladium is a more peaceful precious metal!). An enchanting vintage finger bauble, currently ring size 6 1/2.

About Retro Jewelry

Hollywood glam got creative during the war era, when strategic factors forced jewelers to do without certain materials. Rather than scale back, they took the streamlined shapes of the Art Deco and went big, bold, and gold with them! Retro power pieces segued from the Jazz Age to the Fabulous Fifties, creating many motifs of vintage jewelry along the way.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
