An elegant ring featuring mesmerising cabochon-cut moonstone, set in a smooth bezel of 9ct yellow gold, flanked by two old European cut diamonds. With its ethereal clarity and soft, domed silhouette, the moonstone captures light beautifully.

Originally made to be worn as a glove ring, it has been resized to fit your hand without gloves. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, glove rings were designed to be worn over fine leather gloves, a staple accessory for the well-dressed individual. These rings were typically larger in size to accommodate a gloved finger, allowing wearers to maintain their adornments even in colder months or during formal occasions where gloves were a necessity. The bezel setting and smoothly contoured design of this piece would have made it practical for wear over fabric without risk of snagging.

Circa: 1940

Condition: Excellent antique condition with a lovely patina, subtle wear consistent with age
