Delicate Ring with 0.76 ct Old European Cut Diamond in Rose Gold

As antique jewelry 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 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 crafted this ring from high-karat rose gold, using historical gold for this purpose. This ring now features a 0.76 ct antique Belle Époque diamond that was cut as early as the late 19th century. It is a tinted colour (M) stone with only very small natural inclusions (vsi). Its warm colour complements the warm rose gold beautifully. Two small diamonds set in delicate milgrains adorn the ring’s shoulders, lending the piece a light elegance that beautifully showcases the large diamond. At the same time, the ring 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 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!
