Antique 18ct Gold and Platinum Five Stone Old Cut Diamond Ring, 1.35ct

DescriptionThis elegant five stone diamond ring is a beautiful example of classic design and fine craftsmanship.The ring is crafted with a platinum setting, chosen for its strength and durability in securing precious stones, while the shank is made from 18ct yellow gold, creating a pleasing contrast between the cool tone of the platinum and the warmth of the gold band. This combination of metals was particularly popular in antique and early twentieth-century jewellery.The ring is set with five old cut diamonds arranged in a graceful graduated line, with the largest diamond positioned at the centre and slightly smaller stones tapering towards the shoulders.The diamonds are claw set, allowing plenty of light to enter the stones and enhancing their natural sparkle, while beneath the stones a beautiful pierced gallery adds delicate openwork detail and reflects the quality craftsmanship of the piece. The diamonds have an approximate total combined weight of 1.35 carats, giving the ring a lovely presence on the finger.Old cut diamonds are antique style diamonds that were hand cut by craftsmen during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, before modern cutting techniques were developed. They typically feature a higher crown, smaller table and larger open facets, producing a soft, romantic sparkle that many collectors find particularly charming and full of character.With its elegant graduated design, fine materials and timeless appeal, this ring would make a wonderful engagement ring, as well as a lovely addition to any antique or fine jewellery collection.Ring size: TProduct code: 115×0166
