Mid-Century Engagement Ring with Large Old Euro Diamond

This stunning ring is truly eye-catching! We love its extraordinary width and presence, making it ideal for wearing as a wedding ring or a fashionable right-hand ring. Handcrafted in platinum during the 1950s, it features older diamonds. The centerpiece is an old European cut diamond, which predates the ring's setting by approximately 50 years. One can only imagine the glamorous woman who chose to remount this diamond in such a modern style, perhaps celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary. 

The center diamond is impressive, measuring over 7mm wide and beautifully cut. It is accented by larger diamonds at the compass points and a split-shank setting adorned with additional diamonds—there's truly no shortage of sparkle here. The shank is fashioned from rounded platinum wire and is designed for a comfortable fit in the hand. Although it is not marked, the design indicates a French origin. 

Details: Mid-century 900 platinum ring set with a natural 1.30ct old European cut diamond (SI2 clarity, J color) and .25ctw diamond accents (SI GH), circa 1950s.
