About the Item
Mid-Century Star Ruby and Diamond Ballerina Cocktail Ring in Platinum, circa 1950s–1960s.
Bold, sculptural, and utterly glamorous — this Mid-Century cocktail ring is the embodiment of post-war sophistication. Crafted in luminous platinum, the design centres on an enchanting oval cabochon star ruby, weighing approximately 4.70 carats. The ruby reveals a subtle asterism when viewed at an angle — a natural star-like shimmer that adds a mysterious, celestial allure.
Encircling the ruby is a dynamic ballerina-style surround, a classic motif of the era, made vibrant with an estimated 3.00 carats of fine diamonds. A dazzling ensemble of baguette-cut, marquise brilliant-cut, and round brilliant-cut stones fan out in rhythmic tiers, echoing the movement of a dancer's skirt in motion. The diamonds range G–J in color and VS–SI in clarity, offering both brightness and brilliance.
Beautifully constructed with a sculptural open gallery, the ring’s architecture is as captivating from the side as it is from the top — a hallmark of meticulous mid-century design. This is not just a ring — it’s an era captured in platinum and precious stones. A statement of confidence, elegance, and unapologetic glamour.
Styling Tip: Let it stand alone on the hand or pair it with diamond studs for timeless evening elegance.
