A beautiful antique 18ct yellow gold 'knife edge' engagement ring dating to around 1910. The ring features a fine quality 1/2 carat old mine cut diamond.
The knife edge is a classic antique ring style that is bang on trend at present, it is designed to 'float" the diamond in a minimal setting giving light and life to the stone.
This ring displays a low profile from the side with the deep knife edge shoulders rising to reach the top of the stone. When viewed from above the minimalist setting directs all the attention to the star of the show, the exquisite bright white diamond that is gloriously eye clean for we see no inclusions.
The stone is held aloft in a regal eight claw rex or crown design mount. Despite its dainty simplicity this is a solid and sturdy ring and the design ensures long lasting wearability and durability with the diamond fully protected within the setting.
A timeless classic and an enduring beauty this is an antique solitaire ring that can be worn without the slightest concern and simply stunning when worn with a slim band of gold as a wedding set. It is equally at home as a dress ring and will shine when worn stacked with other beautiful antique rings
