Vintage Engagement Ring with 1ct Old Mine Cut Diamond

If rings could talk, this one would have quite a story to tell! This white gold engagement ring was made circa the 1950s, with a timeless mid-century design. The white gold diamond ring features two arms that bypass each other, cradling the center diamond between them. The center diamond is an Old Mine cut, dating back to approximately 1880, as indicated by its square outline and significant, irregular facets. This large 6mm+ diamond is the showstopper, dancing even in the lowest light. This diamond was likely mined in India or Brazil, as it predates the discovery of diamonds in Africa. As a result, it has more warmth and inclusions than modern stones. None of this is visible- all the viewer sees is a fabulous diamond ring, which is likely why some lucky person remounted and wore it in the 1950s, and it's why some lucky lady will want to wear it again soon!
