Reflecting the refined elegance of Mid-Century jewelry design, this unique band is an authentic treasure for the discerning bride who values vintage authenticity and intricate detail.
A True Mid-Century Masterpiece: The 1954 Vintage Wedding Band
Dating precisely to 1954, as confirmed by a touching hand-engraved inscription inside the band—“16-5-54” (May 16, 1954)—this ring is a genuine artifact from the prosperous post-war era. The 1950s saw a resurgence in demand for fine jewelry, with white metals and diamond-focused designs becoming highly popular. This ring perfectly embodies the era’s sophisticated aesthetic, making it an exceptional example of a Mid-Century wedding ring.
Crafted in beautiful 18 karat white gold, the metal offers a luxurious, bright backdrop that enhances the sparkle of the diamonds. The choice of 18K gold speaks to its enduring quality and value. At a substantial weight of 2.91 grams, the ring has a satisfying, quality feel while remaining perfectly comfortable for daily wear. Its condition is rated Good, a testament to the durability and care it has received over the last seven decades.
Intricate Filigree & Pierced Work: A Study in Craftsmanship
The defining characteristic of this band is its magnificent pierced filigree design. This ornate, lace-like metalwork is meticulously crafted, giving the ring a light, airy, and incredibly delicate appearance while maintaining structural integrity. Filigree designs were a staple in vintage jewelry, offering an intricate alternative to plain bands. This particular pattern of fine threads and openwork is a true showcase of the artisan skills prevalent in the 1950s.
Measuring 4.8 mm [0.19 in] in width, this is a substantial band that offers excellent presence on the finger without being overpowering. The detailed side profile, with a comfortable height of only 2.3 mm [0.09 in] above the finger, ensures a low-profile fit ideal for stacking with an engagement ring or wearing alone.
Diamonds That Sparkle with History: Round Single Cut Accents
Adorning the intricate filigree are brilliant round single cut diamonds, totaling 0.20 carats in weight. Single cut diamonds—an early form of the round cut—feature fewer facets, which creates a mesmerizing, subtle flicker of light often preferred in authentic antique and vintage jewelry over the more fiery sparkle of modern brilliant cuts.
The diamonds, with individual measurements between 1.7 – 1.8 mm, are perfectly scaled to accent the filigree design. They exhibit a color range of G to I (Near Colorless) and a clarity range of VVS1 to I1, offering excellent overall sparkle and fire. These vintage diamonds are set securely within the pattern, complementing the white gold perfectly. This combination of filigree diamond ring and round single cut diamond ring makes it a unique and sought-after piece.
Perfect Fit for a Special Someone: Ring Size 6.75
The ring is currently a Size 6.75. While its current setting/mounting is not available, the authenticity and one-of-a-kind nature of this original 1954 wedding band offer unmatched character. The beautiful hand-engraving of the date inside the band is a poignant reminder of the original wedding day and adds immense sentimental value, transforming this piece into a treasured antique wedding jewelry item.
