H. Stern 18kt White Gold & Diamond 'Metropolis' Ring

This rather unusual ring was manufactured in Italy and retailed by famed Brazilian jewellery firm, H Stern. The flexible ring is crafted from satin finished 18 karat white gold 'square' and 'bar' type links which are articulated and allow the ring to mould to the finger. These links have been set with 36 round brilliant cut diamonds that have been grain set, each of H colour and VS-SI clarity totalling 0.18 carat. To the inside of the ring alongside the hallmarks is a single square cut sapphire which has been rub-over set, and is only visible when off the finger, a 'secret sapphire' so to speak. The piece has Italian hallmarks but also a retailing hallmark for H Stern, the well known Brazilian jewellery firm. This particular design is said to be known as 'Metropolis' and likely dates to the first part of the 21st Century. A really unusual design, this ring is a piece which you are unlikely to see on the hand of anyone else.
