Art Deco 18ct Gold & Platinum, Cabochon Sapphire & Diamond Cluster Ring by Bailey Banks & Biddle

296S
2,800 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A stunning 18ct gold and platinum ring made by the famous American jewellers Bailey Banks & Biddle. Bailey & Kitchen, as it was originally known, was founded at 136 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, on September 20, 1832, by Joseph Trowbridge Bailey and Andrew B. Kitchen. The partnership was dissolved in November 1846. It was reformed with new partners as Bailey & Co. in 1841, and on March 1, 1878, again re-established as Bailey Banks & Biddle.
At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States. Its design today remains the official version of the seal. The jewellery they produced was of the highest quality as is seen in this ring. It has been set with a cabochon sapphire that is most likely of Burma origin. It is surrounded by small diamonds, with a further band of diamonds around the outer edge with loops to both sides set in platinum with millgrain detail. It curves around the finger beautifully and is comfortable to wear. It was made circa 1920.
