Vintage 1990s 18ct Gold Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Diamond Confetti Ring
A wonderfully fun 1990s 18ct yellow gold ‘confetti’ ring, scattered with emeralds, ruby, sapphire and diamond in a mixture of shapes and colours. The broad gold band has a softly textured, slightly irregular surface, set at intervals with green emeralds, a marquise-cut ruby, a square-cut blue sapphire and a round brilliant-cut diamond. Each stone is set low into the gold, giving the ring a wonderfully smooth profile while allowing the different colours and shapes to appear almost randomly scattered across the surface. There is something particularly playful about jewellery from the 1990s, and this ring captures that perfectly. The combination of precious gemstones feels luxurious, but the asymmetric arrangement keeps it relaxed and modern rather than formal. It is also a brilliant ring for anyone who struggles to choose a favourite gemstone with emerald, ruby, sapphire and diamond are all here in one wonderfully colourful piece. Worn alone it makes a great statement, but it would also look fantastic mixed into a stack of gold bands.
