Van Cleef & Arpels bombe ring, circa 1970s, sculpted in undulating ribs of 18k yellow gold that sweep over a domed field of pavé diamonds. A bold, architectural take on the classic bombe silhouette, this design reflects Van Cleef’s move toward voluptuous, high glamour cocktail jewels in the jet‑set era — rings meant to catch light from across the room.
