Retro .88 Old European Cut Three Stone Diamond Two Tone Vintage Engagement Ring
Circa 1940

Antique 1940's engagement ring with a .88 carat old European cut diamond, and approximately .30 carats of old European cut side diamonds within a 14k yellow gold and platinum setting. The platinum openwork crown/gallery reflects the era’s shift toward more structured and bold settings following the Art Deco period. During the Retro era, three stone designs grew in popularity because wartime material restrictions encouraged styles that created visual impact while using precious metals more sparingly.
