Cartier Ruby Half Eternity Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

The name of Cartier instantly brings to mind the sparkle of diamonds and the allure of the rich and famous. Since it was founded in Paris in 1847, the House has gone from strength to strength, being famously credited as “the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers” by King Edward VII. This statement wide band cocktail ring catches the eye with a central row of emerald cut vibrant rubies. These are perfectly complemented by a tactile richly polished 18ct yellow gold setting, which is perfectly in keeping with the current bold gold trend. Dating from the 1980s this ring is as wearable today as it was nearly forty years ago with warm yellow gold jewellery being featured in Vogue magazine. During the 1980s these pieces were worn to define power dressing and showcased the conspicuous consumption of the period. A superb example for a connoisseur of Cartier jewels; this piece is fully signed and numbered.
