Sparkle in Style : Art Deco 18ct Platinum Topped Old Cut Diamond Navette Ring

♥Sold♥

The brightest, sparkliest of Art Deco diamond cluster rings, circa 1920. An outstanding heirloom jewel. This ring glitters magnificently by sunlight or moonlight. It is elegant, refined, easy to wear and classically beautiful. It would make a perfect engagement ring.

The ring is handmade made in 18ct yellow gold, with a platinum top that extends down the engraved shoulders. The style is very classically 1920’s Art Deco. The undercarriage has been hand cut with delicate filigree, allowing the maximum about of light to reach all facets of the diamonds, while keeping the profile low and comfortable. The shoulders have been engraved in the wheat pattern – very fashionable during this period and symbolic of a happy and prosperous union. The band measures 1.5mm wide and 0.8mm thick.

The ring boasts a total of 0.75 carat of colourless old cut diamonds.

The central diamond measures 3.85mm or 0.25 carat weight and has been graded as F in colour (colourless) and P1 in clarity. The surrounding 8 diamonds (4 old cuts and 4 single cuts) have been graded as F/G in colour with a clarity of P1, with a combined carat weight of approximately 0.50 carat. This ring pre-dates the “invention” of the four C’s of diamond grading so it seems most unfair to apply this standard now – but even so the diamonds in this ring hold up very well to modern diamond grading. All of the stones are securely bead set in platinum.
