Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris, Diamond and 18K Celeste Ring
Simple in its 18K yellow gold craftsmanship, this 4.7 gram ring possesses 6 round brilliant cut fine diamonds and 6 fancy tapered baguette cut white diamonds with a collective weight of approximately .60 cts. The diamond colors are estimated to be colorless to near colorless (F/G) and their clarity is estimated to be from very very slightly included, VVS, to very slightly included to the first degree.
This ring is in fine condition, a size 6.5 and can be resized. This French ring bears the French control mark for 18K, the head of an eagle. The ring is numbered, marked 18K, and signed VCA for Van Cleef & Arpels.
While symbolic significance of a piece has long been an important part of the history of jewels, the sentiment at least at Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris appears to be of paramount importance today. We should not ignore Van Cleef's ability to produce a stunning and symbolic ring that is suitable to wear daily.
This is a tiny treasured jewel, a ring suggestive of celestial or heavenly beauty.
