Such a beautiful allure, this antique Diamond engagement ring carries a delightful charm down the years. Dating to around 1940 or so, the design was the most desired at the time, with a restrained mood centering on the delicious brilliant-cut gemstone mounted in a fine Platinum coronet setting first seen and designed by Tiffany: 

The Tiffany Setting was introduced in 1886 by Charles Lewis Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany & Co. This setting revolutionized engagement ring design by lifting a round brilliant-cut diamond above the band, held by prongs, to maximize its brilliance and sparkle (see images).

The effervescent natural Diamond was cut to the brilliant reflecting the latest technology which brought greater accuracy to the faceting. 

All hand crafted with a harmonious eye; we particularly love the tapered shoulders raised and filed to an ideal of elegance which gives a lovely lightness to the design. In pristine condition: all entirely original and hand crafted, this piece is both very special and 100% ethical as a choice for your engagement ring. 

Stone: we estimate the Diamond to weigh 0.35ct (judged in the setting with a Schindler Gauge) and note that it is of supremely lovely quality, being both top white and clean. It is super-sparkly!

Ring Size: Q or 7.75 as is but easy to alter for fit

Metal: 18ct Yellow Gold tested and stamped with a workshop '18CT' inside the band; Platinum to the coronet setting of the stone.

In most cases the boxes are for display only but a nice quality modern reproduction box will accompany this piece.
