Swirly Gold Engagement Ring with 1.5ct Antique Diamond

This is a stunning vintage engagement ring featuring a high-quality, knock-out diamond. The ring is crafted from 18k yellow gold and showcases a swirling design, with each side elegantly embracing half of the diamond, giving the ring an eye-like shape. Both sides of the ring are adorned with flush-set round diamond accents that enhance the upper half with brilliant sparkle.

The centerpiece of this exquisite piece is a natural diamond weighing over 1.5 carats, known for its exceptional color, clarity, and cut. Although the diamond is already large, its beautiful “transitional brilliant” cut makes it appear even larger. This transitional cut diamond was faceted in the mid-20th century and links the older Euro cuts and the modern round brilliant cut we recognize today. 

This remarkable diamond would make an incredible engagement ring or anniversary gift! 

Details: Size 8 vintage 18k yellow gold ring set with a 1.50 carat round diamond (transitional cut, VS FG) and .56 carats total weight of round diamond accents (VS GH), circa 1970s.
