Old Cut 1.78ct Diamond Solitaire Ring in 14ct Rose Gold and Platinum

A distinctive Old European cut diamond solitaire ring from the Retro period. Reset from an antique jewel that had become worn or unfashionable the romantic sparkle from the central 1.78ct diamond fully embraces the boldness of the period. Four detailed platinum triangular corner claws secure the stone adding an eye-catching square form to this piece. Contrasting warm rose gold shoulders showcase a richly polished central channel, and are further defined by three distinct engraved line sections. The Retro period lasted from 1941-1960, and is dominated by designs in warm yellow and rose gold (platinum having been reserved for wartime use). The Old European cut diamond set into this ring is accompanied by certification from the GIA (Gemmological Institute of America) to confirm J colour and VS2 clarity grades. A striking engagement ring, which showcases the perfect combination of rose gold and platinum.
