A substantial circa 1940s Art Deco wedding band, assembled in contrasting 14k yellow and white gold with eight bead-set diamonds.
Polished yellow-gold rails frame the gently raised white-gold center. Eight individually set diamonds span approximately 25mm along the front curve. Faint traces of the original engraving remain, giving the ring the honest character of a treasured period band.

Condition: Very good antique condition. The diamonds are secure and free of visible chips. No sizing seam or other repair is apparent. The engraving is substantially worn.

Any resizing should be evaluated by an experienced jeweler due to the assembled two-tone construction and curved, raised profile. Diamond cut and grade cannot be reliably assessed while mounted.
