This old mine-cut diamond engagement ring in Deco style is crafted in lavish platinum, weighs 3.5g and measures 10mm wide and 6mm deep. This refined and classically elegant Deco style old mine-cut diamond engagement ring exposes an eminent, quatrefoil-prong mounted 1.09ct old mine-cut diamond graded P (very light-yellow) color and SI1 clarity. A captivating diamond rim of stylized ovular format, bead-set with 0.16cts of full-cut diamonds graded I-J color and SI1 clarity surrounds the fiery center-stone, embellished with a finely mille grained perimeter. This intriguing, diamond-enveloped ovular plaque surmounts a pierced openwork gallery incorporating romantically inspired heart-motif profiles. Ornately forked, gracefully descending shoulders of this old mine-cut diamond engagement ring merge into a ridged platinum band, concluding with an easily sizable shank. Old mine-cut diamonds are amongst the earliest diamond cuts becoming rarer by the decade. Old mine-cut diamonds are cut with gently rounded corners and brilliant-style facets, the old world charm deriving from an open culet which favors fire over brilliance. Many of these diamonds have now been re-cut to suit more modern proportions, especially those of higher quality, leaving few of these charming and desirable cuts with wide-flashing facets for us to enjoy today.See less »
