Vintage PSCO Solid 14K Yellow Gold 3 Diamond Ring - Size 6

Solid 14K gold ring set with three diamonds, one round brilliant diamond on top and a smaller round diamond on each side. The center diamond is held in four prongs on a white gold head, raised above the band so it catches light from the sides as well as from above. The two side diamonds are set into white gold panels that cut diagonally across the shoulders, one to the left and one to the right of the center. The shank is yellow gold with a twisted ribbon profile, the metal folding over itself so the shoulders rise and cross before tapering to a smooth rounded back. The interior is stamped 14K PSCO-P.

The two tone construction is what carries this design. The white gold at the head and shoulders keeps all three diamonds reading bright and colorless, while the warm yellow gold of the shank frames them and keeps the ring from looking flat. Because the side diamonds sit on a diagonal rather than in line with the center, the eye travels across the face instead of straight down it, and the twist in the band picks up its own highlights along the ridges independently of the stones. The mark traces to Plainville Stock Company, founded in 1884 in Plainville, Massachusetts, part of the cluster of gold manufacturers that made southeastern New England the center of American jewelry production.

Ring size 6. The tapered shank keeps it comfortable for everyday wear, and it arrives packaged and ready to gift or add to your collection.

Fun Facts:
Plainville Stock Company was founded in 1884 in Plainville, Massachusetts, part of the dense cluster of gold and jewelry manufacturers that made southeastern New England the center of American jewelry production for over a century.
The P stamped alongside the karat mark stands for plumb, a declaration that the alloy meets the stated karat exactly rather than falling within the older tolerance that let manufacturers stamp 14K on gold running slightly below the mark.
