Van Cleef & Arpels Coral and Diamond Philippine Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

An 18ct yellow gold, pink coral and diamond Philippine ring by the House of Van Cleef & Arpels. With platinum reserved for wartime use, jewellery from this period embraced the warm tones of yellow and rose gold. Two expertly shaped pink coral sections form the shoulders, with a delicate pave diamond set central section completing the design. An intricate twisted gold border defines this centre section, adding interest to this beautiful ring. The house was as its peak when it was owned and run by the founding family, from 1896 to 1999. This ring formed part of the iconic Philippine collection, which was first seen in the 1960s. The decade was an important period for the top French jewellery houses, as it was becoming fashionable to wear statement jewels to intimate cocktail parties. During this time, the reputation of Van Cleef & Arpels was at a particular high point, as the House would create the coronation jewels for the Emperor and Empress of Iran in 1967. With a global network of luxury boutiques, augmented by the flagship showrooms in Paris and New York, the House was the only destination for the most famous and wealthy personages in the world. The very best designs are truly timeless, and the bold and sculptural style of this piece makes it highly collectible and coveted today. Check Specifications for ring size details.
