.25 Vintage Deco Diamond Filigree Engagement Ring 18k

This Art Deco antique solitaire engagement ring features a .25 carat Old European cut diamond set in 18 karat white gold.

The Old European cut has a smaller table and larger facets than modern cuts, giving it a softer, more romantic sparkle with less fire. At J color, the diamond has a faint warm tint that's noticeable when viewed against a white background but less apparent when set in white gold.

The mounting features Art Deco filigree with intricate openwork patterns throughout the gallery and shoulders. An octagon-shaped head frames the round diamond, and milgrain detailing—tiny beaded edges—runs along the metalwork. This ring sits relatively low on the finger, making it comfortable for everyday wear while maintaining the period's ornate aesthetic.
