An elaborate vintage sculptural ring depicting a single fish with its body twisted around the finger, creating an intricate three-dimensional design.
Crafted in sterling silver with contrasting 14KT yellow gold details, the fish's body is covered with approximately 490 pavé-set champagne diamonds, weighing approximately 5.00 carats.
The sculpted fins and tail are accented with approximately 240 pavé-set rubies, weighing approximately 2.00 carats. The ruby settings follow the curves of the fins and tail, emphasizing the movement and intricate detailing of the fish.
Six irregularly shaped diamond slices, weighing approximately 2.00 carats, are individually bezel-set along the twisting body of the fish.
The contours of the face, central facial detail, nose, mouth, and tongue are executed in 14KT yellow gold, creating a distinct contrast against the darkened sterling silver and champagne diamonds.
The interior gallery is also crafted in 14KT yellow gold, featuring intricate decorative openwork.
Due to the ring's substantial weight and unusual construction, a gold sizing bar has been incorporated into the interior to help stabilize the ring on the finger and prevent rotation.
