Vintage 9ct Gold Modernist Diamond Ring — S.U. Ltd, UK, 1970s

Some jewels don’t just accessorise — they make a statement.

This exceptional vintage ring is one of them.

Handcrafted in the United Kingdom and hallmarked by S.U. Ltd, this bold modernist design from the 1970s captures the fearless spirit of its era. Cast in solid 9ct yellow gold and stamped 375, the band sweeps dramatically around the finger, cradling a brilliant white diamond in a protective bezel setting. The design is sculptural yet timeless, a wearable piece of art that feels as contemporary today as it did fifty years ago.

💎 Why Collectors Love It

The clean bezel setting not only enhances the diamond’s brilliance but ensures durability — making this piece both an heirloom and an everyday luxury.
