This great cocktail ring comes from the collection of the New York socialite and wife of the renowned dental scientist David Tanchester. The couple lived at 680 West End Avenue on the Upper West Side, not far from Columbia University, in one of the spacious apartments in a period Jugendstil building with an in-house launderette and extra rooms for a maid and a nanny.
According to oral tradition, this was Mrs Tanchester's favourite ring and she wore it all the time. As a result, the French cuts have suffered a few chips, but we don't mind this at all because we would wear it every day too. Mrs Tanchester must have made quite a splash at cocktail and dinner parties with this ring. Its high domed design is exemplary of the 1950s. Then round forms replaced the geometrical ones favoured in the preceding decades, and colourful stones made way for lighter and brighter ones, specifically more diamonds. Several rings were worn at the same time and massive shapes were all the rage. The stones were often clustered high above the finger.
Though it may be unsigned, this ring was made by a truly gifted master jeweller.
