Antique diamond cluster engagement ring by Donovan and Overland

Here is a fabulous early Australian antique diamond cluster engagement ring by Donovan and Overland that is set with stunning antique European cut diamonds that have such an incredible sparkle to them all.

Made around the turn of the 20^th Century, Donovan and Overland were one of if not the leading jewellers in Perth from 1897 until the Great Depression forced them to close their doors in 1931. Not only is this ring beautifully hand made in 18ct yellow gold, it is also in exceptional condition, which is a testament to the quality of jewellery that they were making.

Set in the centre is a magnificent European cut diamond that measures 1.41 carats and is H in colour and Si in clarity and has such a magnificent sparkle to it combined with the charm of being a genuine antique hand cut diamond. Surrounding this diamond are a further ten European cut diamonds with a total weight of 1.00 carat bringing the total weight for this ring to an impressive 2.41 carats.

Measuring 13.1mm in diameter, this antique diamond ring has such wonderful proportions and sits so well on the finger and will no doubt be admired for its elegance and beauty.

Not only is this a unique and very beautiful antique diamond ring, but one that also has connection to a superb early Australian jewellery company.
