Delicate Ring with a 0.55 Ct “Old European Cut” Diamond in Rose Gold

As antique jewelry dealers, our love for antique objects leads us to occasionally purchase unmounted gemstones, because 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 find their way 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. This particular piece, crafted from high-karat rose gold, features an antique diamond weighing 0.55 carats. It is a stone with a warm tinted colour (Cape, M-N) and natural inclusions (P1). The diamond was cut in the brilliant cut style common around the turn of the century, which contemporaries simply called “brilliant,” but which we now call the “Old European Cut.” Two small diamonds in the modern brilliant cut further enliven the ring’s shoulders. As a result, the piece of jewellery sparkles with every ray of light that hits its finely crafted surfaces. Thanks to its high-quality, durable materials and its flat design, the ring is also comfortable to wear in everyday life. An ideal ring for what is arguably the most important question of life—and that is, after all, always a matter of the heart!
