Vintage Rings Studded With Kite-Shaped Diamonds and Unheated Burmese Sapphires Lead Hindman’s Jewelry Sale

Owing to its elongated form, the kite-shaped diamond emerged as a fancy cut variety during the Art Deco period of the 1920s. The rhombus-like, symmetrical diamonds are a blend of step-cuts and brilliant-cuts. These diamonds are usually used as side stones to bring in a sense of balance to the design of a ring. A finger ring styled with kite-shaped diamonds is a key highlight of the upcoming Important Jewelry sale, presented by Hindman. Set in platinum, it is designed with one cushion brilliant-cut diamond, weighing 7.03 carats and two kite-shaped diamonds, together weighing approximately 0.65 carats. Another striking piece is an unheated Burmese sapphire and diamond ring. It features one oval mixed-cut sapphire and 16 pear-shaped diamonds, weighing approximately 4.50 carats. Untreated Burmese sapphires are coveted for their rarity and intense hue. 

A Graff Colombian emerald and diamond ring mounted in platinum also leads the catalog. It features one emerald and two tapered baguette-cut diamonds. Another striking lot is a pair of jade ear clips comprising two round mixed-cut colorless zircons. To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Hindman.
