The classic solitaire engagement ring proves that simplicity works- like this one circa 1950. Here a top quality Diamond is set into a four prong white gold ring mount that allows it to take center stage. The Diamond is beautifully cut into what we call a ‘transitional brilliant.’ During this period Diamond cutters were moving from the old European cuts of the Art Deco period to the modern round brilliant that we know today. We love these transitional cuts, since they have a larger presence on the hand than modern cuts but more sparkle than the antique ones. This one is totally clean even under magnification- VS1 clarity- and almost colorless- G color- so nothing impedes the sparkle. Once on the hand this one comes into its own and shines like no other- the perfect mid century modern engagement ring that is still a timeless style.
