Edwardian Five Stone Old Cut Diamond Ring

This elegant Edwardian half hoop diamond ring is resplendent display of antique craftsmanship. Set with five graduated old-cut diamonds, their softly rounded facets capture and return the light with that delightfully warm, romantic glow characteristic of antique stones. This cut allows the diamonds to scintillate in the light with a deep, warm lustre; a captivating effect that is a delight to behold. The ring carries an estimated total diamond weight of approximately 1.48 carats.

Between each principal diamond, delicate single-cut and rose-cut diamond points add gentle scintillation, enhancing the flow and overall brilliance of the design. The platinum coating to the surface, a hallmark of Edwardian taste, lends a cool, luminous frame to the diamonds, while the rich 18ct gold band beneath provides warmth and fire. 

The scrolled under-gallery adds another delightful historic design element, ornamental and elegant on the finger. Finished with a classic D-profile shank, the ring sits comfortably on the hand; a timeless expression of beauty from an era of true elegance.  The five-stone ring design was a favourite among Victorians, sometimes used as an engagement ring or a token of love, with each stone representative of qualities of a lasting relationship; love, trust, commitment, communication and empathy. It retained its popularity into the Edwardian era, and still today is regarded as a timeless, fashionable design.
