Tank Ring Yellow Gold And Red Stones

Tank ring from the 1940s in 18 ct (750/1000) yellow gold set with 4 calibrated red stones: synthetic rubies. Finger size: 51 Hallmarks: eagle head Condition: good general condition: repolished jewel, micro-shock on one stone Gross weight: 12.23 g ref.506 The Tank jewel: The Tank jewel stands out with its exuberant volume, like the military vehicle from which it takes its name. The ring is often set with natural diamonds and synthetic rubies. Indeed, the use of synthetic stones was common at that time. We must also keep in mind that in the middle of the Second World War, priority was not given to the extraction of natural precious stones for jewelry: it is therefore not uncommon to find synthetic rubies set on jewelry very good quality. This is part of the characteristic style of this era! I would like to point out that this is not a new item or refurbished, it is sold as is and therefore shows wear and small imperfections due to its age.
