Graceful, romantic, and undeniably sophisticated, this exceptional antique diamond navette ring beautifully bridges the transition from the Belle Époque and Edwardian periods into the emerging Art Deco era. Dating to approximately 1915–1925, the ring is crafted in solid 14K white gold and showcases a magnificent antique marquise-cut center diamond framed by an extraordinary pair of matched old pear-cut side diamonds—a remarkably rare combination seldom encountered in authentic vintage jewelry.
Together with forty-eight additional natural accent diamonds, the fifty-one stones total an estimated 1.90 carats total weight (ctw), creating breathtaking brilliance across the elongated shield/navette silhouette. Flowing curvilinear channels soften the bold geometric outline, while the finely pierced lace filigree gallery reflects master early 20th-century craftsmanship. The result is a unique Art Deco statement ring with remarkable presence, exceptional finger coverage, and timeless elegance that sits comfortable and low on the finger.
Whether worn as a unique antique engagement ring, a high-end cocktail ring, or a heirloom piece for collectors, this authentic vintage ring captures one of the most celebrated transitional eras in fine jewelry history.
At its center sits an impressive antique marquise-cut diamond measuring approximately 10 × 5 mm, flanked by a remarkably matched pair of antique pear-cut diamonds. Their generous open culets, steep crowns, and broad facet reflections are period-correct to early 20th-century diamond cutting, providing distinct antique character and vintage warmth.
Forty-eight additional natural round accent diamonds line the outer frame and sweeping channels, forming a brilliant pave border that enhances the elongated navette silhouette. Combined, the 51 diamonds are estimated at 1.90 carats total weight.
This ring masterfully bridges two iconic eras. Its elongated navette silhouette and sweeping curved borders reflect the romance of the Edwardian and Belle Époque eras, while its symmetrical shield framing hints at early Art Deco architecture.
The finely hand-pierced under-gallery showcases open honeycomb craftsmanship, allowing maximum light to enter the diamonds while keeping the ring lightweight and breathable. Resting just 3 mm off the finger, this ring delivers high-impact knuckle-to-knuckle presence while maintaining a sleek, low profile that won't catch on clothing.
Wonderfully preserved for a century-old piece dating to c. 1915–1925, this ring is in very good antique condition. The 14K gold mounting retains crisp milgrain detail, secure settings, and beautiful original character.
Light surface wear, minor micro-abrasions, and gentle signs of age are consistent with careful ownership over the past 100 years. Please review all macro photographs carefully as they serve as an integral part of this condition report.

The Details:
Many pieces in the TERA Collection are a century old or more. They have been worn, cherished, gifted, celebrated, and carried through generations before arriving here. Gentle wear, subtle signs of age, and the occasional evidence of historic stewardship should be expected and are considered part of the character that makes antique jewelry impossible to replicate.
Our photography is intentionally detailed and often captured at extreme magnification. In many cases, the images reveal details, textures, and tiny imperfections that are difficult or impossible to see during normal wear. This approach reflects our commitment to documenting each piece as completely as possible, ensuring that its condition, craftsmanship, and character are faithfully represented.
The result is simple: when your piece arrives, there should be no surprises. What you see is an authentic record of a jewel's present condition, preserving both its beauty and the story written into it over time.
If a condition issue exceeds what would normally be expected from a piece of its age, it will always be specifically disclosed within the listing.
Because every collector values different details, we are always happy to provide additional photographs, videos, measurements, or condition documentation whenever possible. If there is a particular aspect of a piece you would like to examine more closely, please don't hesitate to ask.
Our hope is simple: that the piece you receive is exactly the piece you expected to receive. We would always rather answer one more question than leave a doubt unanswered.
