Disco Era 14K 0.48ctw Channel-Set Diamond Band

VintageSold out
Sale price$825.00

Vertical channel-set rows alternating with raised gold ridges. 0.48ctw of diamonds in a design that was everywhere from 1975 to 1982, when wide bands were the default and diamonds came in L color because that's what was available. The FR hallmark and 4.50 grams of 14K gold put this squarely in the late 70s, built with the casting techniques that had just gotten good enough to make these uniform channels possible. The surface reaching inclusions and I1-I2 clarity were standard for the era—this is what diamond bands actually looked like before the market got obsessed with perfection. GIA Graduate verified the specs. The wear pattern suggests four decades of regular use.

Disco's dead. This isn't.

Condition Notes

Good vintage condition with authentic 40+ years of wear that confirms its era. Surface scratches and patina throughout the band consistent with regular wear since the Carter administration. All diamonds remain secure in their channel settings despite the I1-I2 clarity grades. Surface reaching inclusions in several stones are stable and were standard for the period. Light brown diamond color is original to the era when colorless wasn't the only option. The band shows honest wear without structural concerns.
