Vintage 18ct gold & Platinum brilliant cut diamond solitaire engagement ring 1950's ~ With Independent report.
This is a really beautiful traditional diamond solitaire engagement ring dating from the mid 20th Century, c1950's.
DETAILS
This stunning ring was made in England and is hand crafted in 18ct gold and Platinum. The classic crown setting with diamond shoulders is a style that has been in constant popularity since the 1900's.
This ring is a beauty and the main feature is the beautiful principal diamond which ticks all the four C's boxes for cut, colour, clarity and carat weight!
The ring has an independent report by a registered jeweller valuer and it assesses the diamond to be G/H colour and VS2 clarity with a weight of 0.54 carat. It is securely set within a platinum crown and is clean and bright and very lively with lots of brilliance. I can't detect any inclusions at all so I suspect it may be an even better clarity grade out of the setting.
The platinum shoulders have four tiny eight cut diamonds to each side, grain set within milgrain edges and perfectly matched to the principal diamond. Total overall diamond weight 0.64 carats.
The band is 18ct yellow gold.
A really gorgeous vintage heirloom diamond ring.
