Late Deco Platinum & Diamond Engagement Ring Bargain

The jewelry made between the stylized Art Deco period and the glamour of the Mid-Century makers was marked by a trend toward practical and classic styles. This ring, circa 1940, is a perfect example, with practical touches throughout. The center natural Diamond is a 5.5mm old European Cut which produces lots of sparkle and appears larger than its weight would suggest. Also, this Diamond is rated I1 in clarity, but the cutting is so good that it hides the inclusions too (and makes the ring much more affordable). The platinum mounting is well made and solid enough for a lifetime of everyday wear, yet the mounting has a lightness and finesse which gives it femininity. The sides of the ring are set with three round single cut Diamonds which gives the profile a bit more sparkle than a baguette, which is what we see in this mounting a few years later. The overall effect is one beautiful and sparkling platinum and Diamond engagement ring, an iconic late-Deco or early-Retro design, perfect for the next generation of enjoyment.

Details: vintage platinum engagement ring set with .62ct round old European cut Diamond (I1 clarity, H color, Good cut) and .14ctw single cut Diamond accents (SI GH), circa 1940.
