Ornate Antique Gold Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring

This beautiful antique engagement ring is simple in form but the ornate engravings add a ton of charm. It dates to the turn of the 20th century, when Diamond engagement rings first became popular. The Diamond in this ring is an old European cut, which has a round shape similar to modern Diamonds, but with hand-cut facets. The Diamond has a faint body color but it is totally hidden by the yellow gold setting; all the eye sees is sparkle. The gold shank is slightly flared as it approaches the Diamond and the entire surface is hand-carved with beautiful vintage details. The Diamond itself is held with claw prongs – a neat original touch. This would make a wonderful antique Diamond engagement ring and is sure to become a treasured heirloom.

Details: antique 14k yellow gold Diamond engagement ring set with a single .74ct old Euro cut Diamond (VS2 JK) and carved accent work, circa 1910.
