Asymmetrical Tank Ring With Synthetic Diamonds And Rubies On Yellow Gold And Platinum – 1940s

A signature piece of the 1940s, this Tank ring captivates with its sculptural design and striking interplay of volumes. Crafted in 750/°° yellow gold (18 KT, owl hallmark) and platinum (mascaron head hallmark), it perfectly embodies the aesthetic of that era, when jewelry featured bold lines, pronounced reliefs, and a skillful contrast of materials.

Its asymmetrical design, characteristic of Tank models from this era, harmoniously combines flat surfaces with domed volumes, creating an elegant stepped effect that brings the setting to life from every angle. The contrast between the warmth of yellow gold and the whiteness of platinum further accentuates this geometric architecture, so typical of the 1940s.

At the center, an old-cut diamond immediately catches the eye. It is highlighted by a square setting that is particularly representative of the aesthetic vocabulary of that period, emphasizing its presence while reinforcing the graphic precision of the overall design. Flanking it, a row of calibrated synthetic rubies adds a touch of deep color—a trend very much in vogue in 1940s designs—while the domed band is entirely pavé-set with rose-cut diamonds. Their more subdued sparkle creates a refined contrast with the brilliance of the central diamond and contributes to the visual richness of the composition.

The design of this ring reflects a particularly successful quest for balance between straight lines and curves, generous volumes, and interplay of levels. Its substantial volume gives it a remarkable presence on the finger while maintaining excellent harmony of proportions.

An authentic Tank ring, emblematic of the creative revival in jewelry design of the 1940s, elegantly combining yellow gold, platinum, diamonds, and the color of rubies in an architecturally structured composition with a timeless character.
