Antique Recycled Hand Cut Diamond Engagement Ring

So Precious! The most unique and love-ly antique engagement ring! This is a jewel with a most intriguing past; the bringing together of elements which one held meaning and sentiment. The Diamond itself is uncertificated but of the 'first water' quality, being both very white and clean; and the cutting style is one which dates back a number centuries being first seen in the 1600's. It has a cushion shape and larger facets which display flashes of sparkle rather than the dazzle of modern laser cut Diamonds.

Expressing a timeless and natural beauty, the design is simplicity itself with just a hand cut Platinum coronet to display the olden gem. The band is of 22ct Gold and was hallmarked as such in 1885 (see the clear hallmark in our images). We believe that this would have been a family wedding ring which was kept and reused in creating this engagement ring for sentimental reasons.

The magical old Diamond measures at around half a carat and shows signs of her age in small chips to the girdle where it is thinnest, but we don't feel that this spoils her for continued wear or enjoyment as it is only signs of herstory.

The ring size is an 'M' or '6.25' as is but it is possible to adjust this by a size or so each way.
