A striking Mid-Century ring crafted in 10K yellow gold and centered with an approximately 3.27 carat synthetic uranium spinel. The pale green stone is fashioned in a rectangular step cut, giving it broad flashes of light and a beautifully crisp, geometric appearance.
The setting is particularly charming, with an ornate frame of floral and scroll-like details surrounding the center stone. Decorative engraving continues onto the shoulders before transitioning into a slender polished shank. The open-backed construction allows light to pass through the stone, enhancing its luminous green color.
Synthetic uranium spinel is an especially interesting vintage material, prized by collectors for the vivid fluorescence it can display under ultraviolet light. Paired with the romantic detailing of this circa 1950 setting, the stone gives the ring a wonderful combination of old-fashioned ornament and distinctly 20th-century character.
