.42 Vintage Deco Diamond Filigree Engagement Ring 18k

This Art Deco engagement ring features an old European cut diamond of approximately .42 carats set in 18 karat white gold.

Old European cuts have larger facets than modern rounds, creating a different kind of sparkle - more like flickering candlelight with flashes of color rather than the bright white brilliance of contemporary diamonds. 

The white gold setting features both geometric and floral filigree work, with the intricate openwork patterns typical of 1920s design running along the shoulders and gallery. The filigree adds dimension without bulk, keeping the ring light and comfortable for daily wear.
