This one is really heard to part with! It's a fabulous 5-stone diamond band, vintage, and gorgeous in every way.
The specs: marked 900 platinum 100 iridium, a tight size 6 on my ring sizer and sizable. V-prong setting for the diamonds that I haven't seen anywhere else.
I figure they are early round brilliants based on the age of the piece, but I think I can see arrows in all 5 of them with a loupe...
Under a 10x loupe - NO chips or damage to diamonds, no carbon, no feathers that I can see! I know they were sold to me as VS diamonds, but I can only say they look pristine to me!
The setting has normal wear, I'd say better than expected for age, and normal platinum patina. I think the prongs would be called fishtail? Not sure!
Each diamond measures approximately 4mm or just under, maybe 3.98mm. So they should be between .20-.25 each. They are very well matched and I don't know the color but I'd guess H. Not near as white as some E single cuts in one of my rings but whiter than another band with H-I diamonds.
*** update, I took this band to a local reputable vintage diamond grader, he said these were wonderful diamonds, colorless E to F easily, and VS1 or better! He thought total carat weight of 1.15. ***
Each diamond is held securely by 4 prongs, with a thin piece of platinum between each diamond.
I really don't want to let this one go, but I bought a bigger band and like the look of the larger one, though this one has nicer diamonds!
