Vintage Motif: Fanned Rings

vintagefan

I was meant to grow up in the 40s and 50s.  These rings are so pretty and are proof of this statement.  I noticed a prominent similarity while browsing through pages and pages of vintage rings.  Can you spot it as well?  There seems to be a sort of fan-like design that makes up most of the ring.  I like this look, usually done with gemstones creating the look of a fan.  Check out some my favorites that led me on to spotting this vintage motif!
