Victorian Celestial Diamond Cigar Band
Victorian Celestial Diamond Cigar Band – (circa 1916) – 18K Yellow Gold & Diamond (approx. 0.20ct) old Rose Cut Cigar Band Wedding Ring – A beautiful and very wearable cigar band, the gorgeous little diamond set in an appealing starburst setting. Does one ever have enough fingers?
**** In the late 1800’s Louis Comfort TIFFANY took inspiration from the literal paper cigar wrappings he encountered, and created a unique style of ring that captured the essence of the ornate paper bands wrapped around cigars. He mimicked the comfort fit into a wider band and the ornate detailing, engraving gorgeous flourishes and geometric designs. The now wider wedding band became a status symbol, and due to the wide variety of design, became extremely collectable. Today these bands have a unisex allure. The flatter most hands and make for beautiful statement jewellery.
