Vintage 18K HGE Pink Asscher-Cut Cocktail Ring

A rose-pink stone cut in a stepped octagon is set on point between four long claw prongs, and its facets fold light inward like a pink window. Heavy gold electroplate rings like this were a mainstay of 1960s–1970s jewelry, with a rich gold surface made to last. The split shoulders open around the stone so light passes beneath it. It’s a clean, architectural statement that sits easily on the hand.
