Description
A refined example of Retro goldsmithing from the 1940s–1950s, this 18k yellow gold ring weighing 14.80 grams conceals a watch beneath a cover decorated with diamonds, rubies and sapphires. The hidden dial technique, highly regarded in post-war fine jewellery, combined functionality with understated elegance, transforming an everyday accessory into an object of true refinement. The warm yellow gold, typical of mid-century aesthetics, enhances the chromatic contrast between the white of the diamonds, the red of the rubies and the deep blue of the sapphires. Condition is excellent, with intact finishing and lively stones. A piece that speaks to the taste of an era in which time was kept secret, revealed only to those who knew where to look.
