Masterpiece Astoria 5.03ct Diamond Cluster Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

A commanding 5.03ct emerald cut diamond has been secured by four hand shaped 18ct yellow gold claws as the centrepiece of this spectacular Masterpiece Astoria setting ring. Inspired by the Art Deco architecture of 1930s New York city the large central diamond has been expertly complemented by precision cut tapered baguette, brilliant and trilliant cut diamonds that define the wide angular shoulders of the design. Further baguette cut stones top and tail the centre stone with small sparking brilliants adding the perfect finishing touch. Richly polished yellow gold has been used to showcase these diamonds, which expertly draw the eye towards the geometric centre stone. Designed by a member of the Pragnell family this setting reminds us of the monumental wall lanterns found on the landmark Waldorf-Astoria hotel which has dominated Fifth Avenue in New York since the early 1930s. As a sixth-generation family jeweller Pragnell are experts at sourcing the rarest and most sought-after gemstones in the world. The central emerald cut diamond seen here is accompanied by certification from the GIA (Gemmological Institute of America) confirming K colour and VS2 clarity grades.
