Antique Edwardian 18ct Gold Old European Cut Diamond Ring (0.50ct) c.1905
This item is unavailableThis stunning 18ct Gold Old European Cut Diamond ring is the perfect classic engagement ring!
It features a single rare 0.50ct old European cushion cut Diamond set in an elegant 18ct Yellow Gold band, and Platinum crown-like claws that show off the Diamond perfectly.
The Diamond is of extremely fine quality, of bright white F-G colour, and VS clarity. (This means there are no imperfections to the visible eye, and they are even hard to see with x10 magnification!)
Solitaire Diamond rings have been popular since the late Victorian period, and all the way through the Edwardian and Art Deco eras too. And they continue to be the most well-loved style today. Simple, elegant and timeless!
Old European Diamonds are a cut differently to the modern brilliant Diamonds we see today, so they sparkle in a very different way. Old European cut Diamonds are very unique and tend to have bold flashes of light, designed to twinkle and wink rather romantically. They're often referred to as "Old Hollywood" Diamonds because of their unique vintage appeal.
This ring is not only beautiful but practical too with a comfortable 2mm band and smooth bezel setting - one of the most secure settings you can get.
This beautiful Diamond ring has plenty of character, and would make anyone feel very very lucky to receive her, whatever the occasion. Of course, it's an ideal ring for every day wear and would make an ideal choice as an engagement or promise ring.

CONDITION: Excellent
This 18ct Gold Old European cut Diamond ring is almost immaculate, and features in the most beautiful Diamond! It's bright, white, and flawless to the eye, with no nicks, chips or surface abrasions of any kind. It twinkles quite fiercely no matter what the lighting conditions, and the Diamond is held securely so you can wear her day in, day out without worry. There is a little wear to the underside of the setting, where the ring has been worn with a another ring above and below it for some time.This is only noticeable if you are looking for it, and the setting is still of very solid construction and suitable for daily wear. The 18ct Gold shank does not show any thinning to the back (as many antique rings do), but does have little light wear to the very back of the band. This could easily be polished out if you wish but we've left her exactly how we found her; bold, beautiful and ready for her new forever home!
