Certificates:
Six slender, beaded claws hold this round brilliant cut diamond, weighing 1.72 carats, high above the finger, its radiating facets giving it a bright, lively face. Certified by GIA in J color and VS1 clarity, the stone carries a faint, creamy warmth that sits comfortably against the yellow gold. Beneath it, the shoulders are shaped into polished, leaf-like swellings pinched in with small collars, a sculptural detail that gives the mount a distinctive profile, and the shank narrows into a satin-finished band. The crown of facets is circled by the claws like a small coronet, and the diamond is the clear star, with nothing else in the design set to compete with it. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the ring weighs 3.76 grams, light and easy on the hand. Circa 1970, it is a vintage engagement ring with the rounded, organic shapes of its decade, and it suits someone who wants a classic round diamond of generous size in a setting with a little personality and a warm, buttery glow.

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!
