Vintage 9ct Two Tone Gold Old Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring, 0.15ct - Size N½

Old cut diamonds have a warmth that modern cuts simply can't replicate. And this one is a beauty.

A 0.15ct old cut diamond, bezel-set in a white gold collet, sits at the centre of an open crossover shoulder design in yellow gold, the two tones working together in that effortless way that only vintage jewellery manages. The open shoulders give it an elegant, almost Art Deco feel, and the old cut diamond catches the light with that characteristic soft, romantic glow rather than the sharp brilliance of a modern stone.

This is the kind of ring that has already lived a wonderful life. It deserves another one.

The Details

Yes, this is a real diamond. Old cut diamonds were hand-cut before modern cutting technology existed, each one is slightly unique, which is part of what makes them so special.

What is an old cut diamond?
The old cut, sometimes called an old European cut, predates modern brilliant cutting. It has a smaller table, higher crown, and larger culet than a contemporary round brilliant, giving it a distinctive, romantic sparkle that glows rather than flashes. Increasingly sought after by collectors and vintage jewellery lovers.

Is this suitable as an engagement ring?
Absolutely. A vintage diamond solitaire with this much character is a wonderful alternative to a modern engagement ring and the story that comes with it makes it even more special.
