2.09 Antique Victorian Pink Sapphire Engagement Ring 14k

This Victorian era engagement ring features a 2.09 carat oval pink sapphire surrounded by a halo of 11 old mine cut diamonds totaling 1.21 carats. Each diamond measures 3.0mm and weighs .11 carats. The pink sapphire displays the soft blush tones, ranging from pale to medium pink depending on the lighting. Old mine cut diamonds from the Victorian period have a cushion-like shape with a high crown and small table, creating a softer, more romantic sparkle than modern cuts with their larger facets catching candlelight and natural light differently than electric light.

The 14K yellow gold setting provides warmth that complements the pink tones in the sapphire. The halo design makes the center stone appear larger while adding sparkle around the perimeter, and the prong setting keeps the sapphire secure while allowing light to enter from multiple angles.
