Antique 0.50ct Old European Cut Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring in 18ct Gold, Birmingham 1919

A stunning antique diamond solitaire ring, crafted in 18ct yellow gold and fully hallmarked in Birmingham for 1919. At its centre is a particularly fine old European-cut diamond of approximately 0.50 carat. Clear, bright and full of life, the stone displays immense sparkle together with the softer, more individual beauty found only in antique hand-cut diamonds. Its high crown and charming facet pattern produce flashes of light from every angle. The diamond is held securely within a simple raised eight-claw gold crown, beautifully framed by an open floral arrangement. The polished split shoulders flow gracefully towards the setting, while the generously proportioned gold shank gives the ring a reassuringly substantial feel. Weighing an impressive 4.8 grams, this is a beautifully made antique ring with considerable presence when worn. Its timeless solitaire design, romantic history and lively old-cut diamond would make it a fabulous and highly individual engagement ring.
