.32 Antique Deco Euro Diamond Engagement Ring Palladium

This antique Art Deco engagement ring in palladium features a .32 carat Old European cut center diamond flanked by two round diamonds totaling .22 carats (3.0mm each), with additional accent stones bringing the total diamond weight to .82 carats. 

The center diamond has H color, meaning it appears nearly colorless with just the faintest warmth, and VS2 clarity means inclusions are minor and difficult to spot without magnification. Old European cuts were hand-cut in the early 1900s with smaller tables and larger facets than modern brilliant cuts, creating chunkier flashes of light rather than scattered sparkle.

The knife-edge band angle that creates clean lines typical of Art Deco geometry, and palladium—a platinum group metal—provides a white backdrop that won't yellow over time like white gold. The step ring design and mix of Old European, single, and round brilliant cut accent stones create the layered, geometric look characteristic of 1920s-1930s jewelry.
