Vintage Retro Diamond Ribbon Ring

14K Gold | Old European & Old Mine Cut Diamonds | Florentine Finish | Circa 1945–1965

A striking example of Retro-era design, this beautifully sculpted ribbon motif ring showcases a harmonious blend of antique diamonds and textured goldwork. 

At its center rests a 0.39 carat old European-cut natural diamond, graded F color and SI-2 clarity. The stone displays the soft brilliance and distinctive faceting characteristic of early 20th-century cutting. 

Flanking the center are two old mine-cut natural diamonds totaling 0.09 carats, adding depth and antique charm to the composition. Two faceted round red glass accent stones provide a subtle, romantic contrast within the flowing ribbon form. 

The 14K gold mounting is finished in a classic Florentine texture, enhancing the dimensional movement of the sculptural ribbon design. The result is bold yet elegant — unmistakably Retro in character. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a mid-century ring incorporating authentic antique diamonds in a highly collectible design.
