Art Deco diamond engagement ring handmade in platinum the 1920’s

Starting with the traditional diamond solitaire, the jeweller that created this ring set the early brilliant cut diamond with traditional claws to secure the ring.

This diamond measures 0.51 carats and with this section underneath it, seems so much larger and will certainly catch the eye of all who see it. Bead set on each side are three single cut diamonds that total 0.06 carats and add the right amount of sparkle to emphasise and highlight the elegance and craftsmanship of this beautiful ring. Perfect as an engagement ring, it measures 7.2mm at the centre by 14.3mm from one end diamond across to the other end diamond.
