1950s Emerald Cut Sapphire Ring
Irene Byrne & Co
Ooooh we love this ring, in the box unassuming perhaps but on the finger so sweet. From circa 1950s, we have an emerald cut centre sapphire that throws off an incredible colour, delicately set with two single cut diamonds on each shoulder, tapering into a fine band and set in 14ct white gold. This ring is a perfect engagement ring for someone who prefers coloured stones, a sweet thin Diamond eternity or half hoop band would match perfectly.

Mid 20th Century (1950 - 1970):
Through the 50s and 60s the hair was bigger, the dresses were bigger and the jewellery followed suit. Women wore more extravagant pieces than ever before and men opted for lots of gold. Cartier introduced jewellery depicting leopards and panthers and from then on each jewellery house did the same. Van Cleef & Arpels created bejewelled animals and flowers and Bulgari had its Serpentini line. Cocktail Rings were something a woman could simply not be seen without particularly in the US where a ‘Cocktail Party’ was the most stylish event you could be invited to.
