A Vintage Diamond, Turquoise and Onyx Dress Ring

A stylish diamond, onyx and turquoise dress ring by Van Cleef & Arpels c.1990s, the ring of rounded bombe form and asymmetric design composed of three tapered sections one on top of the next, the central section pavé set with round brilliant diamonds between a carved polished piece of turquoise and another of onyx, all set in 18ct yellow gold. The diamonds are all high quality and have been well matched, the turquoise is vein-free and of vibrant blue colour and the onyx is opaque black. The contrasting colours work well together and are very striking, this is a dynamic and bold dress ring with a contemporary feel.
