Petite Diamond & Palladium Wedding Band

An elegant little band of diamonds set in icy white palladium. Five small diamonds are set across the top of the slender ring. Two further diamonds nestle in pinched settings on either side. A slender tapered band completes the piece. Pretty and petite, just the thing to add a bit more sparkle to your vintage engagement ring. Circa 1940.

Before the USA's involvement in World War II, platinum and white gold were the most common white precious metals used to achieve this look. During the war, platinum and the alloys used in white gold were reserved for the war effort. As a result, palladium, a platinum group metal, came to be used in jewelry. When we find a jewel marked for palladium, it typically dates the piece to the first half of the 1940s.

Details.....Currently a size 6. The top of the ring measures 16mm by 2.1mm, and the back is 1.1mm wide. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique pieces; we consider it part of the charm.
