Delicate Ring with 0.61 ct Vintage Diamond in Rose Gold, from Our Workshop

As antique jewellery dealers, our love for antique objects leads us to occasionally purchase unmounted gemstones as well. After all, every historic diamond is a one-of-a-kind piece with its own unique character. However, the search for beautiful settings for our diamonds proved to be more difficult than we had anticipated. Modern mass-produced settings, such as those available in stores, are often soulless, machine-made products lacking any sense of form and proportion. Yet beautiful, hand-forged, antique settings rarely come to us without matching diamonds. So we commissioned our goldsmith to craft a ring setting based on our design, which we then had cast using traditional techniques. We had this ring made from high-karat rose gold, using historical gold. The diamond we had set in the mount is a vintage brilliant-cut diamond. The diamond weighs 0.60 ct and sparkles with a slightly tinted white colour (I). It is of good quality (SI1). Due to the setting in warm, lustrous rose gold, the diamond’s warm tint is barely visible. Two smaller diamonds in delicate settings with milgrains adorn the ring shoulders and lend the piece a subtle elegance that beautifully showcases the large brilliant-cut diamond. At the same time, the piece of jewellery sparkles with every ray of light that hits its finely crafted surfaces. Thanks to its high-quality, durable materials and flat design, the ring is also suitable for everyday wear. An ideal ring for what is arguably the most important question in life—and that is, after all, always a matter of the heart!
