French 1940s 18k Yellow Gold Diamond Ruby Tank Ring
About the Item
For sale a typical French tank ring from the 1940s, marked by its massive use of 18K yellow gold and architectural structure. The ring showcases a high wave-shaped dome head, combined with a line of 4 rose cut diamonds mounted in 18K white gold. Beside to the diamonds 3 purplish red color rubies which are probably synthetic like many rubies used in the jewelry of this type. The ring is stamped with the French eagle’s head hallmark for 18K gold with a maker’s mark on the shank.
Colorful, strong and expressive, this bold statement piece is sure here to get you noticed.
For the second time in the century, the outbreak of war changed again the style of the jewelry making in the 1940s. Bold, massive jewels were made to suit the outlook of the women during the war: masculine, well-tailored suits of military inspirations since women took up the jobs left vacant by men, whether in industry, in commerce or in offices. This ring is also a historical piece as a prove of the increasing women’s power during and after the SWW.
The ring is resizable at buyer’s cost, please contact us for this before you pass your order.
The other two tanks rings on the last photo are also available in our shop.

- Antique Edwardian Era 18k Gold Platinum Diamond Ribbon Bows Brooch PendantLocated in Versailles, FRCharacterized by a lightness and delicacy, this beautiful 18K gold and platinum pendant brooch is perfect example of the jewelry from the early 20th century, the Edwardian / Belle Epoque era. We love the fluidity of its lines but also the more sophisticated design incorporated the ribbon bows and garlands. The pendant brooch is entirely decorated with sparkling white diamonds in rose-cut style. The settings have very delicate millegrain decoration around its contour. Platinum, with its rigid characteristics, made such delicate yet strong design possible. The jewelry has the pin to be worn as a brooch but also two small attaches on the back to pass through a chain so you can wear it as a pendant. For a historical jewelry that radiates pure romance and promises to stand the test of time, you can't go wrong with this beautiful Edwardian diamond pendant brooch...Category
