Platinum Cat’s Eye and Diamond Ring, Circa 1920

As if lit from within by a secret moon.

At the heart of this elegant 1920s ring glows a 5.88-carat green cat’s eye chrysoberyl—its silken band of light shifting with every movement. Encircled by 2.12 carats of round-cut diamonds (VS2 clarity, I color), the cabochon is cradled in platinum, a softly radiant foil to the stone’s rare optical phenomena. Quietly hypnotic, this piece speaks in the hushed, luxurious tones of another era.

A luminous jewel for the one who reads by candlelight and answers only to the hourless.
