Vintage diamond engagement ring

$3,350.00

Here is a timeless design and such an elegant engagement ring that was beautifully hand made in 18 carat yellow gold and platinum in the 1960’s.

Set with a 0.18 carat round brilliant cut diamond in the centre, it is not only highlighted by two single cut diamonds on each side, but they graduate in size with the smaller one at the top and the larger one at the bottom of the shoulder that leads to the half round band that will easily fit a wedding band alongside.

On its own, or with a wedding band next to it, this is a ring that will always be loved and cherished.

What are single cut diamonds?

Single cut diamonds.

In recent years there has been such a resurgence for genuine antique cut diamonds, especially for engagement rings as many people realise that there is such a charm and character about antique cut diamonds, and although the reality is that they don’t sparkle as great as a modern round brilliant cut diamond, antique cut diamonds have a style and character all of their own that can never be matched.

 

Single cut diamonds

The look of single cut diamonds.

Single cut diamonds are small diamonds usually around 0.01 carats to 0.05 carats and are often found on the shoulders of rings or surrounding a centre stone for example. While today modern technology will allow for a 0.01 carat diamond to have 58 facets and be a round brilliant cut diamond, single cut diamonds were used from the later part of the 19th Century up until around the 1930’s-1940’s. Commonly found with eight facets on the top (the crown) and eight facets on the bottom (the pavilion) these are sometimes found with total facets between 16 to 18.
