.10 Art Deco Two-Tone Engagement Ring 18k

This Art Deco engagement ring is made in 18 karat white and yellow gold with a .10 carat old European cut diamond set in a hexagonal head. The diamond has G color, which means it appears white to the naked eye with no noticeable yellow tint, and SI1 clarity means it's clean to the eye with only minor inclusions visible under magnification.

Old European cuts have larger, chunkier facets than modern rounds, creating more colored fire and a romantic candlelit sparkle rather than the bright white flash of contemporary diamonds.

The two-tone design places yellow gold floral engravings on the shoulders while the center mounting is white gold, creating color contrast that highlights the geometric patterns. At .10 carat, the diamond measures about 3mm across—small but appropriate for the delicate Art Deco aesthetic with its emphasis on geometric detail over size. The hexagonal head echoes the angular design elements popular in 1920s and 1930s jewelry, and the ring could work equally well for men or women given its structured, architectural appearance.
