Vintage European Cut Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring

This stunning diamond engagement ring from the 1940s really stands out! It has a nice presence on the finger, not too high and not too flush on the finger.

The ring is crafted of polished white gold, and the stylized shoulders on the side of the ring are a perfect addition to the piece! Adding just enough interest that the eye draws down and away from the center diamond!

The center diamond is a European cut, which bridges the gap between the more amateurish cuts of the early Victorian era, such as the rose cuts and old mine cuts, and brings the art of gem cutting into the modern, post-industrialized age.

Unlike the more sketched lines of the old mine-cut stones, these Euro cuts follow a stricter template. While the culet remains open at the base of the diamond, it is shaped in a more distinct circle, with an even circumference all the way around. As the precursor to what would become the modern brilliant cut diamonds, Euro cuts feature more facets than the older cutting styles. A high crown creates a glowing shine of pure light within these antique diamonds, as opposed to the glittering effect of micro-faceted, modern cut diamonds.
