Francine’s review:

Elegant and intensely luminous, this Cartier Nigeria ring from the 1990s powerfully illustrates the jewelry craftsmanship of the House of Cartier. Crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, it stands out for its full pavé setting of diamonds, totaling approximately 4.50 carats, offering a spectacular and perfectly controlled sparkle.
Its powerful yet balanced design, emblematic of Cartier’s aesthetic during that era, gives the ring a striking presence on the finger, while retaining a timeless elegance. Each diamond is meticulously set to maximize brilliance and depth of light, creating a piece of jewelry that is at once precious, sophisticated, and bold.
Dating back to the 1990s, this piece embodies the charm of Cartier’s vintage creations, which are highly sought after today. Available in size 50, this ring is perfect for lovers of iconic, characterful jewelry and for collectors seeking a rare and truly timeless piece.

Priced at €19,500, this is clearly a great deal for a Cartier ring set with 4.50 carats of diamonds, which would undoubtedly have a list price of around €50,000 today!
