c. Early 1900s Gold Engagement Ring with a Marquise Cut Diamond and Subtle Split Shank

Period: c. early 1900s; Edwardian era (or shortly thereafter), though it shows clear Victorian design influences,. This piece works equally well as an engagement ring or as a statement piece worn simply for its beauty. Material: tests between 10K and 14K gold with a warm “antique gold” hue Dimensions: the top measures 11.5 mm north to south; the ring stands 2.4 mm tall above the finger — this is a very low-profile piece (note: the culet of the stone stands a hair below the ring itself). Also note that this is a petite ring (see the handshots for scale — for reference, Shauna wears a 4 1/2 and has particularly long fingers). It vibes as something more delicate than gaudy. Size: 5 1/2 (free sizing — contact us for more info) Diamond: .65 carat (weighed) antique/vintage marquise cut diamond with approx. faint-Cape (O-P range) color and VS2-SI1 clarity; diamond assessed in its mounting by a GIA GD—grades determined as mounting permits. Note: to us, the stone reads as white, but not too white, within this mount. It has a very faint warmth to it that's quite lovely. Think more along the lines of white lace than white printer paper.
