Description A very pretty Antique Marquise-shaped gemstone Ring dating from circa 1920 that demonstrates the imagination of the period perfectly. A superb array of sparkling Old/European-cut Diamonds presented in an impressive cluster, supported by the ornate delicate split shoulders in a sleek 18 carat Yellow Gold Band, and ideal for a quite-large finger size R. Dimensions : 20mm x 8.5mm * Old Cut Diamonds are becoming sought after as they become harder to find, and may become good heirloom pieces for future generations to enjoy. Today most Diamonds are ‘round brilliant cut’ which are uniformly faceted, and more accurately proportioned – Old European Cuts present a far rounder shape, with a differing arrangement of facets. Older cut diamonds are regularly bought and sold across the world, many originating from antique pieces of jewellery, purchased at auction for sale or for re-setting into new mounts.
