Art Deco .36 Carat Old European Cut Diamond Two Tone Vintage Engagement Ring
Circa 1920

Art Deco vintage engagement ring centered with a .36 carat old European cut diamond center within a 14K white and yellow gold setting. The diamond is framed by a geometric hexagonal setting in white gold, creating contrast against the warm yellow gold band and drawing attention to the center stone. From the side, the ring reveals intricate hand-pierced scrollwork that continues beneath the diamond, giving the setting an open, architectural quality. These small details were created by hand and are what make Art Deco rings so interesting, what appears to be a simple solitaire from the top becomes far more intricate when viewed from the side. The combination of an Old European cut diamond, two-tone gold, and detailed openwork makes this a distinctive example of Art Deco design.
