Victorian GIA 2.05 carat diamond 14k yellow gold east west engagement ring

$ 15,600$ 19,500
Circa 1900, this Victorian east-west ring turns a 2.05 carat cushion cut diamond on its side within a hand-pierced, lace-like 14k yellow gold gallery, its warm gold glowing with the soft patina of age.
Certificates:
Dating to circa 1900, this Victorian ring is a rare example of the era's more playful design instincts, setting its 2.05 carat cushion brilliant cut diamond east-west across the finger rather than in the expected north-south orientation. Graded J color and SI1 clarity, the diamond still throws bright, warm flashes of light from its broad cushion facets, its pale golden undertone echoing the 14k yellow gold that surrounds it.
Beneath the stone, the gallery is worked in delicate, hand-pierced filigree — airy, lace-like openwork that lightens the mounting's visual weight and lets light pass up through the diamond from below, a hallmark of genuine turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. The gold itself shows the soft, warm patina of over a century of wear, its color deepened to a rich, buttery tone.
Remarkably light at just 1.49 grams and sized to a 5.5, sizable, this ring wears with a graceful, low profile that belies its striking, sideways-set diamond.

Beyond obsessed

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!
