Description

This beautiful late Art Deco engagement ring is characteristic of the 1930s, with its rich rose gold shank and its lovely angular geometric platinum head and shoulders. There was a brief Victorian revival during that period, and you can certainly see its influence in this design! The crown like eight prong setting protects the stone from every side, and the delicate circular supports beneath the cathedral shoulders are a hallmark of high quality work of the time.

The stone itself is probably considerably older than the setting: it's a old miner cut with an excellent make, reminiscent of a french cut with its large Maltese cross pattern under the table providing excellent fire. It measures 5.2mm X 4.5mm X 3mm for an estimated weight of approximately 60 points, or just over half a carat. Appraised in its setting, it is colorless, estimated as an F, with a clarity of SI1, with the grade-setting characteristic being a small feather that is hidden beneath a prong and invisible to the naked eye, as you can tell from the extremely close-up macro shots ... a great value! This would make an amazing engagement ring for the lady with elegant, classic flair and a taste for antiques.

Currently a size 7.25, this ring is easily sizable. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like additional pictures, or if I can answer any questions!
