This exquisite piece is a classic example of 20th-century Portuguese jewellery design. It features the unique 19.2k gold purity - a standard higher than typical 18k gold, known for its rich colour and lasting value.
In the centre - there is one large, high-clarity emerald-cut Citrine. The stone possesses a radiant honey-gold hue that captures light beautifully through its deep step-cuts. Ten round Turquoise cabochons set into the gallery, providing a striking "Mediterranean" contrast against the warm gold.
The primary band and centre base are crafted in rose/red gold, while the intricate, raised under-gallery and side ornaments are finished in yellow gold to add tonal depth.
The "Nugget" or organic textural motif on the shoulders gives the ring a bold, sculptural presence while maintaining a refined vintage aesthetic.
Excellent vintage condition - the stones are securely set, minimal wear consistent with age and use.
Hallmarks - hallmarked with a "Cat's head" for gold purity and city assay hallmark (worn) at the back of the band.
