Vintage Van Cleef & Arpels pavé set dome ring in 18k gold, weighing 12.5 grams, built with a wide, sculpted top cut through by two notched bars running across the diamond surface, breaking up the pavé and giving it that strong architectural look instead of a flat dome. Set with approx. 1.00 carat total weight of modern cut diamonds with clean, even coverage across the face. The top measures 20 x 11 mm with a solid profile, the band tapering from 9 mm down to 6 mm so it sits right with weight and balance on the hand. Signed VCA Paris. Size 6.
Van Cleef & Arpels built its name in Paris at Place Vendôme in 1906, known for precision setting, clean design, and a level of finish that set the standard across French high jewelry. By mid century, they were refining bold gold forms like this, combining strong volume with controlled diamond work so nothing feels overdone or loose. Pieces like this ring show that balance, structured gold, tight pavé, and design that reads clean from every angle.
