Vintage EGL 4.05 carat round laser drill diamond 14k yellow gold engagement ring

A round brilliant cut diamond, weighing a generous 4.05 carats and certified by EGL in E color and SI3 clarity, is the unmistakable star of this ring, its wide, bright face throwing prismatic flashes from every one of its facets. The report notes that the stone has been laser drilled, a clarity treatment that targets an inclusion, and it sits high in four slender claws so that light can pour in through the sides. Two tapered baguette cut diamonds, weighing approximately 0.20 carat in G-H color and VS clarity, step down the shoulders in crisp, narrow wedges, directing attention back to the center stone like arrows. Crafted in 14k yellow gold and hallmarked with a purity mark, the warm metal makes the icy E color pop even more, and the fine, graceful band means almost nothing competes with the diamond. At a featherlight 2.74 grams, the ring feels almost weightless relative to the stone it carries. Circa 1990, this is a classic solitaire in the tradition of its decade, an excellent choice for anyone who wants the impact of a four carat diamond in a clean, timeless setting.
