1.09 Victorian Old European Diamond Engagement Ring 18k

This Victorian cluster engagement ring features a .45 carat old European cut diamond at its center, surrounded by eight old mine cut diamonds set in 18 karat yellow gold. The center stone carries a G color grade, so its bright and white to the eye.

Old European cut diamonds have a deep, rounded shape with large facets, which means light scatters in soft, broad flashes rather than sharp pinpoint fire. Eight old mine cut diamonds circle the center stone, each measuring 2.75mm and weighing .08 carats, adding up to .64 carats in the halo.

Prong set throughout, the diamonds bring the ring's total weight to 1.09 carats. The 18 karat yellow gold band sits comfortably on the hand, and the cluster arrangement gives the face of the ring a fuller, rounder look than a single stone would on its own.
