Mid-Century Scallop Shells Ring platinum The head and thorax areTruly exceptional mid century cocktail ring that dates from the 1950s. Likely Italian, it's crafted in 18 carat rose gold and the diamond studded orb at the centre is framed by a tricky to describe double fan or scallop shell or satellite dish or Elizabethan ruff.
