Description

---

Unique vintage gold ring set with a total of 0.20 ct. round brilliant-cut diamonds. The ring is by Carrera y Carrera (Bonodea/Los Manos), a well-known brand worn by Taylor Swift, Madonna, and Jennifer Lopez, among others. The hand is matted and holds a sparkling dice set with diamonds. The ring is made of 18-karat yellow gold (750/1000). Carrera y Carrera was founded by Saturio Esteban Carrera, after he emigrated to Madrid, with a small jewelry business in 1885. He never imagined it would grow into one of the world's leading jewelers. In 1960, they were commissioned to make the tiara for the wedding of King Baudouin of Belgium and the Spanish Fabiola of Mora y Aragón. They eventually exhibited at several major exhibitions of the biggest jewelry and watch brands, which is where they were truly discovered. Their first international success was the Bonadea collection, also known as Las Manos (Hands). Their jewelry is heavily inspired by animals and fundamentally feminine. This began in 1978.
