Antique Engagement Ring

This antique engagement ring centers a substantial old European cut diamond in a four-prong white gold setting, its stone ground by hand to a cut that predates the modern brilliant, producing a warmer, more candlelit glow. Graduating round diamonds line each shoulder of the band, set low and close, with fine milgrain detailing along the edges that speaks to the handwork of its era. The style places it squarely in the Art Deco period, a time when white gold came into fashion as the metal of modernity, clean and cool against the geometric sensibility of the age. It has the proportions of a ring made to last, and clearly has. A piece with a past, ready for whatever comes next.
