First Time Posting - Is It Art Deco?

[LightBright]

New development. I reached out to someone who specializes in antique jewelry and they suggested my wife’s ring is likely hand pierced. I didn’t even know that was a category. The lack of symmetry and tooling marks make more sense now.

I found this detailed description - hand piercing was done after die striking, I didn’t realize that hand piercing was part of the process.

I’ve recently learned that a lot of “art deco” pieces were actually made in the revival period after WWII.

We love the ring so we’re happy either way! But it’s still fun speculating about the age of this ring.

It’s stamped .9 plat which might mean it predates WWII?

The diamond is a “cape” that prioritized size over quality. Here are some specs: 2.78 carat, i1, k, 8.98 - 8.96 x 5.66 and Table is 50% Depth is 63.1% and Girdle is thin - medium. Culet small. So a transitional cut?
