Alan Martin Gard Ring 18KT Gold Sapphire & Diamond

Design Overview:

This exquisite ring, crafted in 1971 by renowned jeweler Alan Martin Gard, epitomizes the bold and intricate design sensibilities of the 1970s. The ring showcases a dynamic interplay of sapphires and diamonds set in a robust 18kt yellow gold band, with a striking textured finish on the shank that enhances its vintage appeal.

Design and Craftsmanship:

Central Sapphire: The focal point of the ring is a vivid emerald-cut sapphire, secured by four prongs and surrounded by a cascade of smaller round sapphires and diamonds. The sapphire's deep blue hue contrasts beautifully with the brilliance of the surrounding diamonds.

Diamond Accents: Twelve round brilliant-cut diamonds are interspersed among the sapphires, adding a touch of sparkle and further enhancing the ring's opulence.

Textured Band: The 18kt yellow gold band features a textured finish, typical of the era, adding depth and character to the piece. The shank's design also reflects the organic, flowing forms that were popular in the 1970s.
