Details & Condition: Art Deco engagement rings recall an era of glamour and sophistication: elegant and timeless, this ring checks all those boxes.
Purchased in New York in 1925 this magnificent diamond engagement ring is believed to be from Dreicer & Co of Fifth Ave - they were one of the top luxury jewelry retailers in America during the first quarter of the 20th century - despite having no hallmarks (there is a dedication on the interior instead) the workmanship / construction is unmistakable.
The center of the ring features a stunning geometric 8 sided shield shape diamond with a fancy step cut, accenting are eight French Calibre cut Diamonds and a halo of twenty small square natural Sapphires that are perfectly matched and they have a beautiful blue hue and excellent saturation. There are a further thirty six round diamonds (approx 0.0025 ct. per stone) surrounding the center diamond and on the low set prongs
The size is a USA 6.
Center Diamond Details: It truly is a beautiful stone in person, unusual shield cut, clean and has a lot of sparkle - it is a head turner for sure.
The diamond was not GIA certified due to the fact it needed to removed from the ring- to do so would damage the magnificent setting beyond what we were comfortable with.
A mounted estimate is between 2 and 2.5 carats, mounted color and clarity is estimated to be I-K / VS1 / VS2 and has natural florescence under UV. This grade was done by a GIA Gemologist .
An estimated 3-3.25 total carat weight (* Diamond & Sapphire gemstones )
On the interior band there is only an inscription: BF To SR June 1925.
We have fully xray tested the ring and the metal is high grade Platinum throughout.
Amazing engagement ring for the lady that appreciates uniqueness, class and quality.
