Description
This is a vintage 1980s-1990s genuine Diamonique sterling silver and cubic zirconia solitaire ring with a tall Mid Century style setting. The mounting has 4 tall thick prongs that flare out in a “V” shape from the center of the front and back giving it a high reach for the large stone in the center. The top also contain a double band which was popular in the late 1980s and 1990s. The top band graduates larger on the sides to completely meet the top stone. The lower band comes to a point in the center similar to a soliitaire diamond setting so as to let a lot of light enter the stone. The band is marked DQ 925. It is also marked and KR in a shield on the other side representing the Kirchner Corporation (originally Kirchner and Renich). Ring size is 7. Cz is approximately 1.5 Carat equivalent diamond weight. Overall condition is excellent. No dents, dings, tears or damage to the band or setting. No cracks, chips, flakes or breaks to the CZ. Entire ring is strong, durable and very well made. This is a lovely collectible ring for when you don’t want to wear better gemstone jewelry. Great knock around ring for regular, daily use.
AI Original Diamonique Confirmation:
- 925: The standard hallmark indicating the ring is made of sterling silver (92.5% pure silver).
- DQ: The maker’s mark and brand identifier for Diamonique, meaning the solitaire stone is a high-quality cubic zirconia simulated diamond rather than an organic paste stone.
Brand Appeal: Vintage Diamonique pieces carry a dedicated nostalgic following among television shopping history collectors, which helps it retain a premium above basic metal scrap value.
