$ 5,500$ 6,500
An authentic Victorian solitaire, its 1.26-carat old mine cut diamond glowing softly against warm 9k rose gold, circa 1880.
Certificates:
Solitaires rarely get simpler, or more honest, than this. A single old mine brilliant cut diamond, weighing 1.26 carats with GIA-documented L color and SI2 clarity (GIA #5241001084), sits alone atop a band of 9 karat rose gold, letting the stone's soft, romantic glow do all the talking. This is the solitaire as the Victorians understood it: a quiet, personal gesture rather than a display of scale.
The old mine cut, with its high crown, small table, and gently rounded outline, was shaped for the flicker of gaslight and candlelight, and it still carries that warmth today, especially set against the blush tones of rose gold rather than the cooler white metals more common in later eras. Crafted circa 1880, the ring carries the unmistakable hand-finished character of true Victorian goldsmithing.
Light and easy to wear at just 1.26 grams, and sizable to fit today's hand, this is an accessible entry point into genuine antique jewelry: a piece with real age and a certified diamond, at a scale that suits everyday wear as easily as a special occasion.

I'll just start by saying that every piece of vintage jewelry in this shop is more beautiful than any other I saw in all of LA. Not only do I absolutely adore my ring, I had an amazing experience here as well. Basically the dream situation for a newly engaged gal!
