3 stone Art Deco diamond engagement ring
$3,150.00
Many Art Deco designs can often be characterised by having a “shape in a shape” and this is evident here in this charming Art Deco diamond ring.
Handmade in the 1920’s in platinum and 18 carat yellow gold, the ring is set with three round European cut diamonds that total 0.42 carats, and looking close at the setting, you will note that the centre round stone is set into a square emerald cut setting, and each side diamonds is set into their own hexagonal shaped setting. It is small detail such as this that adds so much charm and character to an antique ring, and exemplifies why there is nothing quite like antique jewellery.
Measuring 4.6mm wide at the centre by 13.2mm across, this is a wonderful example of an Art Deco engagement ring that will always be loved and treasured.

What are the advantages of an antique engagement ring? Are antique engagement rings ethical?
In an antique engagement ring, the diamonds have the charm and character of being cut by hand all those years ago, as well as being conflict-free diamonds, making antique jewellery so much more ethical and better for the environment.
What is a European cut diamond?
During the mid 19th century, the old European cut came into focus, and was an attempt to change the old mine cut stones into a more perfect round cut. These stones can be considered as the first true round brilliant cut diamonds. The facets from the old miners were kept in their same position, but changed shape to a more round and evenly shaped stone.
The culets became smaller, as it was realised that light could leak out from this point in the stone. The development of the modern brilliant cut occurred in the early part of the 20thcentury with further modifications through the century. Diamond cutters apply the brilliant cut to other shapes, and this very exacting skill continues to enthrall craftsman and enthusiasts alike.
