A striking example of Art Deco design, this vintage 14k white gold ring features a vivid raspberry-red cabochon gemstone set in an ornate pierced mounting. The ring is marked LAF, the hallmark of La France Jewelry Co., a respected American jewelry manufacturer known for producing finely detailed gold jewelry during the Art Deco and mid-century eras.
The transparent, high-domed cabochon displays a rich raspberry-red color and is believed to be a period synthetic ruby, a gemstone commonly used in fine jewelry of the era. Delicate engraving around the bezel, geometric openwork shoulders, and an airy pierced gallery give the ring the distinctive architectural character collectors admire in Art Deco jewelry.
Elegant and easy to wear, this ring offers authentic period style with wonderful color and craftsmanship.
