Late Art Deco Sapphire & Diamond Buckle Ring by Joseph Berland, New York

This late Art Deco ring makes a bold statement on its own or stacked with others. The ring is composed of 14K white gold, which flatters the dark blue hues of the sapphires. Integrated into the center of the ring, the white gold band with diamonds brings a dramatic and feminine look to the piece. The four diamonds have a total carat weight of 0.15 with SI1-2 in clarity and H-I in color.

Five square-shaped sapphires rest in the center of the ring. The square-cut stones inside the rectangular base are characteristic of the Art Deco style of geometric motifs used during the time. The five sapphires have a total carat weight of 0.07.

Inside the band is a signature by Joseph Berland of New York. Berland was a popular New York jeweler in the Art Deco and Retro periods. His work was often affiliated with the lively, bustling Manhattan jewelry scene, which was at its peak of fashion and fine jewelry at the time.

This ring is a size 5.25 and is sizable.
