Cluster ring. Gold ring with white quartz. Birmingham 1973.

This vintage ring is a fine example of 1970s British jewelry, crafted from 9k yellow gold and embellished with clear, faceted white quartz. It was made in Birmingham in 1973, as evidenced by the hallmarks on the inner ring (including "375" for 9k, the anchor symbol of the Birmingham Assay Office, and the date letter Y for 1973).

It features an elegant and timeless design that reflects the style of the era, with attention to artisanal details.

This is a cluster ring (or “cluster ring”), a popular style in that decade for its sparkling effect and the illusion of volume created by multiple stones grouped in a dome shape.
This style, often also called a "cluster cocktail ring" or "flower cluster ring," was common in fashion and alternative engagement jewelry, where stones are arranged in a circular or domed shape to maximize brilliance, reminiscent of a flower or bouquet of gems. In the 1970s, gold cluster rings with clear stones were prized for their glamorous yet accessible look, influenced by mid-century design and retro aesthetics.

Description in all its parts

• Shank : The main band is 9k yellow gold, tapering slightly towards the base for optimal comfort. It is approximately 2-3mm wide. The shank is sturdy yet lightweight, with a polished finish that shows no signs of wear.
• Shoulders : The shoulders of the ring, which connect the shaft to the head, are decorated with a cast decoration in a typical 1970s abstract design.
  This detail adds texture and movement, elevating the ring's side profile and supporting the transition to the front decoration.
• Head (or frontal decoration) : The top is a raised cluster dome, 13 mm in diameter, composed of approximately 13-15 round, faceted white quartz stones (likely brilliant-cut to maximize light refraction). The stones are arranged in a circular arrangement: a larger centerpiece surrounded by rings of smaller stones, all prong-set for an airy, sparkling effect. The structure is slightly domed, creating a dome-shaped profile that adds volume and presence to the finger.
• Setting : The entire ring is crafted with a yellow gold setting that securely holds the stones, with a warm undertone that contrasts nicely with the clarity of the quartz. There are no additional elements such as external engravings or side decorations, maintaining a clean, cluster-focused aesthetic.
